Geocache Description:




With a surname of Giezentanner, while I was researching my branch of the Family Tree, it was sometimes very easy to locate family because it was the longest name in the list I was searching. But sometimes it was very elusive because of the misspellings and misplacements in the lists. We have been called everything from GreenSlacks to TeaStrainer, and a few other names I can't repeat here.

We have been told we were "Goat Tenders" and our Coat of Arms, or Family crest was said to be " goats under a pine tree". Many of us have lived up to that profession in being teachers, and tending all those little goats, kids, in the schools.

Container was won in a drawing at the Earthday CITO event in Richland, at Bateman Island 4-24-10

Update: 6-6-11, A warning to those searching for this cache, the tree to the north of this location has a hornet nest in it. The nest is located about a foot off the ground in a hole on the south side side of the tree. Beware!!!
Update 7-7-15, the BEE nest is back in the large tree just to the West of the cache. Shouldn't be a problem in your search, but BEWARE!
