I placed this cache in response to the fact that there are few "Y" names for retiredprof's challenge: On a First Name Basis GC2CTED. I e-mailed him about this, and asked him to place a cache for me. In return, I promised to place one out here in Sacramento, where I live. He did it with Yuri, GC2CZE4, so here is my cache.
Yggdrasil was, in the Norse Mythology, the "World Tree," a gigantic ash, thought to hold all of the different worlds: such as Asgard, Midgard, Utgard and Hel. The name literally means the 'horse of Yggr', i.e. the horse of Odin, since Yggr is one of Odin's many names.
Three roots supported the trunk, with one passing through Asgard, one through Midgard and one through Hel. Beneath the Asgard root lay the sacred Well of Urd, and beneath the Midgard root lay the spring or well of Mimir.
The messenger in the tree (and thus between the worlds) was the squirrel, Ratatosk. In the top of the tree was perched a giant eagle (with a hawk upon its forehead) who blew the winds over the worlds with his mighty wings. The roots of Yggdrasil were gnawed at by a dragon, Nidhogg. Heidrun, a goat, lived on top of Yggdrasil and ate its leaves. Four stags fed on the bark of Yggdrasil, including Dvalin.
The name Yggsdrasil is most often used as a girl name or female name.
The cache is based on one of the Prof's cache's. I complained that 20 foot up a tree was not a 2.5 rated cache. He said it was if you had the right tool, but then he promised to increase it. This cache is of the same type. DO NOT RETRIEVE THIS CACHE UNLESS YOU CAN PUT IT BACK !! I actually think it is harder to replace it.
