I placed this Friendship Cache in a really amazing place amidst the redwoods. I made friendship cache because my best friend Melissa inspired a literary series since I am an English Major and she is a college librarian. There is a best friend geocoin in this cache.
It is a small lock and lock container.
Nature is my medicine. ~Sara Moss-Wolfe
I chose this quote because the cache is placed in a burnt out redwood stump.
A successful growing strategy for redwoods is their dependence on fire. Redwoods need fire to survive. The bark of the coast redwood contains tannins, chemicals which resist burning. The last fire to burn at Muir Woods was 130 years ago. Walking among the trees, the scars of this fire are visible. If the protective bark is broken, either by insects or animals, the fire can get inside and burn the inside flammable part of the tree. If a fire is hot enough, the fluids inside the tree explode, letting the fire in.
