It's A Grand Ole Tree Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Sakiman: Am going to have to archive this one. We wanted to carry forward with another cacher's idea of keeping a cache going in this tree. Unfortunately, others have seemed to find the spot as well and continue to mess with the cache. Don't see any good way of keeping a cache going here knowing that others will ruin it. Thanks for all that have made the climb and found the cache. Will be picking up what ever remains of the cache when we return home next week.

Geocache Description:

While visiting downtown Port Jeff, we thought you might like to visit this spot a little ways off Main Street.

It certainly is a “Grand Ole Tree”. No way to know for sure how long it has been around (without cutting it down and counting the rings). This tree must have seen many changes in the town of Port Jefferson over the years it has grown to its present size. It deserves a cache to commemorate its existence and the town in which it lives. Parking is available within a very short walking distance to the cache. After that walk though, your work is NOT done. I would suggest that you get to a higher perch above your surroundings and enjoy the view this perspective gives you as well as the cache that is there waiting to be found. You are looking for a decon container. Please use caution and common sense in finding this cache. It can be easily approached by some but, may be much more difficult for others. It is YOUR decision whether this cache is to your liking and within your “comfort zone”. As always, the logbook MUST be signed in order to get credit with the find. Some may experience a feeling of deja vu as you search... you will have seen the tree before.


Congrats to montaukjen & vwkurt on the First to Find!
Glad to see you were able to get coffee too
