Geocache Description:

    Number 9 of my Green Hide series.
Green is my favorite color and so GREEN is connected with the cache in some manner.   



If you have done some of the previous green hides . . .
well this one is quite a bit different! 


While hidden near a Evergreen wink tree, it is not a "cone".  It should be in view but it could take some searching to find this one.  The unit is about the size of a larger "scuba tank" container.

The difficulty is due to the trees and the hill. Your GPSr will likely give you some false leads.  I averaged for 5 minutes and after several practice runs, the best I could do was 19 ft accuracy with 20 ft.  angry

If you obtain better numbers let me know and I'll see about tweaking the location.

Some simple hints below.

So if you really get stumped (no not in a stump) email me and I drop you some progressive hints. Once found please re-hid just like you found it for the next searcher. Increasing star rating as its seems to be a bit more difficult that first thought! Thanks.
