It's In The Tree Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

CYBret: Sadly the hiding spot is no longer there, therefore the name of the cache no longer applies. I'm archiving this one. If anyone would like to place their own cache here, might I suggest calling it:
It's beside the tree
It's near the tree
It's hanging from the tree
Hey, look! There's a tree over there!

Thanks to everyone who has played along and left some great logs!

Geocache Description:

The cache is in the tree.


****Fellow cacher, GratefulMike, has written his take on this cache (and its companion cache). Click Here to read his excellent work.****

Here's an easy 1/1 find that shouldn't take long. The cache is in the tree. The tree is located at the north west side of the intersection of Illinois Routes 133 and 49. There you will find a wide spot in the road that is often used as a parking spot for farmers, commuters, state workers and others. There you will find a tree. The cache is in the tree.

The Tree

Lest you think I am tricking you some how, let me assure you, there is only one tree. I measured and the next closest tree is about a quarter mile away. It's not THAT tree. It's the tree that these coordinates will take you to. If you follow the coordinates you will find a tree. The cache is in the tree.

The cache is a black decon container which is located in the tree. It is suspended inside the tree with parachute cord and is clipped to a swivel snap tied on to said parachute cord. You'll find a hole on the north side of the tree. Reach in and up and you will find the cache. There is a pencil in the cache (thanks to RiverExporer, I'm guessing).

Note: If you do not find the cache then it is most likely missing. Please let me know. Otherwise, the cache is in the tree.

Also please note: When you replace the cache, there is a small "shelf-like" area inside the tree that you can set the container on and keep it well-hidden. Please re-attach the cache to the parachute cord and try to place it there.

I've stopped at this tree several times and very often I find some trash laying around the tree. If you have time and are so inclined, please CITO (Cache In Trash Out) while you're there. It would be much appreciated.

There are no hints for this cache because there really aren't any needed. THE CACHE IS IN THE TREE!!!!
