Geocache Description:

This cache is located on the Stiles Cove Path (north) section of the ECT, between Pouch Cove and Shoe Cove. This section of the trail can be accessed from Shoe Cove Road at the eastern end (nearest the cache), or from the west via the trailhead near the post office in Pouch Cove. Parking is available at the end of Shoe cove Road or in the St. Agnes church lot, opposite the post office.

Harry Potter aficionados will recognize the reference to the arborists’ nightmare from the popular book and movie series; the rest of us just know a freaky tree when we see one. If one’s beliefs lean toward the magical, then the Immobulus spell may come in handy if this particular specimen is indeed guarding the secret passageway to the cache. If you find the tree (and believe me, you’ll find the tree) you are close. A short bushwack up a slight incline through fairly open woods will take you to the enchanted hiding place.
The cache is fairly well poked away, so please return as found. Contained a FTF certificate and pin when hidden.

Just take heed when turning away from the willow… you may get whomped!

As with most of the ECT, sections of this trail skirt the edges of high cliffs which may be undercut and fragile. Please take extra care if accompanied by young cachers or pets.
