Geocache Description:

Semi-easy cache in a decon package. Parking to the north 200 yards, don't block the gate. Mugglers in the cars going by.

This grove of trees is not what it seems.
 
One of these trees is fake.
 
It is actually what scientists call, "The Great Cork."
 
The Great Cork is the location in which the Earth was inflated with gasses several billion years ago by the Alien species who built and designed this great planet. The Earth was originally suppose to be a solid ball of dirt but as with many construction projects money fell short. So rather than abandon the project the designers came up with the idea to blow the planet up like a balloon. So they found a suitable location and with a large bicycle tire pump they proceeded to inflate the planet by filling it with gasses.
 
Eventually the gasses would escape though small pores and the planet Earth would shrivel up like a raisin. So in the planning stages a team was assigned to come to Earth every few million years and add gasses to keep the planet from deflating. It was not known that Earth's future inhabitants (Man) would be extracting the gasses to heat houses. So the gasses are being depleted much faster than had been originally planned. The Earth is in great danger of collapsing in on itself as more gasses are extracted.
 
The Great Cork itself is a robotic tree which displays holographic leaves in the summer that change color as the seasons change. When the Aliens come to re-inflate the Earth they simply push a basketball inflation needle into the tree and start pumping the giant bicycle pump. Somewhere on the tree is an emergency inflation notification button. Scientist have searched in vain for the button. If you happen to see it while you are searching for this cache please notify the NDFTPOTTT. They will send a team of scientists to press the button. The aliens will receive the distress call and come fill up the Earth.
 
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PULL UP OR OTHERWISE HARM THESE TREES!
 
If you pull the cork, Earth will fly around and deflate like a balloon when you let go of it before tying the knot!
 
Have a Great Day!
