Geocache Description:

** CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES **



So the other night I was trying to solve a new puzzle cache: "Tree Hugger" (GC20M5C) by n758zc. It took me longer than expected, because I couldn't see the forest for the trees.

At one point I was *absolutely* sure I'd stumbled across the answer - only to find out I really hadn't. I did eventually figure it out, and from that earlier crushing defeat sprang the perfect opportunity for revenge...I could use the "wrong" idea I'd found to torture other geocachers just for fun! :-)

So here it is, presented in n758zc style, with a tip of hat and thanks to n758zc for teaching me a thing or two about tree-hugging along the way. Thanks, have fun, and happy hunting!
