LIFE IN A ?? !!
A forest is much more than just trees. It includes all of the underbrush,
wildflowers and other vegetation that grow beneath these trees; as well
as all of its animal life, both large and small. Sunshine, rain, wind, soil,
and the leaf litter on the ground are part of it, too. A forest is a
community -- a fabric in which the lives of its inhabitants are woven
together and into their surroundings by a complex web of interrelations.
?? !! -- together with the birds, mammals and small life which
they shelter -- furnish an important binding force in this forest
community.
A !! in a living tree is usually caused by an injury which breaks
through the bark and exposes the sapwood. This is followed by
weathering and the infection of the raw wood by fungi and bacteria.
Sometimes, before the wound is closed by the healing overgrowth of
bark, the softened wood is invaded by carpenter ants and boring beetles.
Many ?? !! are started by ground fires which scorch the bark, by
wind-broken branches, by lightning, or by cuts and bruises. Probably,
most of them begin by the process of natural pruning in which the lower
branches of a tree become starved for sunlight, die and break off. Most
heal over but some develop cavities.
Yea, yea, I know. Getting a little crazy here in big old Akron. Just wanted to get a relatively easy one out there so all of Akronites have a place to drop off some TB's in order to get them on the move. I hope this cache fulfills this dream!!! Figure out what 2 words the ?? and the !! symbols replace and you'll find the location of this cache. Best of luck to you all and enjoy!! There is a FTF prize in this cache. Don't forget me if the FTF prize hits gold!!!
FTF goes to Groo the Wanderer!!! Nice job!!!
Congratulations Reboooot on your 100th find!!!
Congrats to niss111 for their first ever find!!!
