pacificbluebird: Time to archive this one since it keeps getting muggled. I'm currently living out of state, so I'm unable to change the hide location/style. It had a good run!

Geocache Description:


Oregon Myrtle (Umbellularia Californica), a distant member of the Laurel family, is native only to the Southern Oregon Coast and Northern California Coast. Color and grain pattern in the wood vary greatly from yellowish-brown, grey, black, blond, and brown with hints of red, blue, and green. Its grain patterns (such as burl, swirls, and fiddle-back with the mingling of different colors) make this wood one of the most unique and beautiful in the world. This rare tree is slow growing. No one quite knows the age limits of the Oregon Myrtle. It grows to heights of 100 feet and a diameter of 2 to 6 feet. A tree with a diameter of 4 feet can be as old as 500 years. It takes centuries for these trees to come to full maturity.
