Tall Trees that Reach the Sky - Girl Guide Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

guiderkarla: This is about the 6th or 7th time this cache has gone missing. I think there are some kids who know it is here and “visit” it periodically. No more replacing. This is it, i am not replacing it again. I guess the hiding spots at this location are just not good enough. Thanks for all the finds. It was fun to watch.

Geocache Description:

Cache is a small camo container.
Watch out for errant thistles.

This is a cache is helping to celebrate Girl Guides of Canada's 100th anniversary, 1910-2010. FTF is GGC stamp set, and there is a special 100 GGC geocoin to move along to other areas where there is Guiding.
**(Owner note- be careful in the late summer/autumn when the grass is tall and the thistles are out. There is a very small creek nearby that can be hidden by the tall grass in late summer. So the terrain rating is 3 but in late summer it can be up to a 4 or 4.5 depending on which way you come from. So be mindful in late summer/autumn. )**
