Geocache Description:

Located up a tree, along the public beach, on the South shore of Lake Bernard near Sundridge, Ontario.

CHALLENGING CACHE WARNING!
For some cachers, this could be considered a terrain 5, for others, it's an easy "climb", but for most, it will be a challenge.

This cache is not for the faint of heart, it involves climbing to percarious heights, and there is a very real chance that you could get hurt. Special equipment is NOT required to reach the cache container, but if you doubt your abilities or are acrophobic, you may want to use some sort of safety protection.

The challenge of this cache is to actually reach the container, not having your buddy sign your name! I would appreciate it if finders would respect the spirit of the cache, but, in the end, how you play the game is entirely up to you!

Obviously, posting photos/videos of you actually signing the cache, and any other hilarious shenanigans are always appreciated.

The cache is now a camouflage taped wide-mouth juice bottle preform hidden over 10m up a tree. The container has been secured to ensure it does not fall out. Please do not tamper with the attachment mechanism!

Why does this tree look familiar? Probably because it's the same tree I was sitting in for my old profile picture. I figured it was about time it received a cache of its own. I hope you enjoy climbing it as much as I do!


This is your target... it is TOMTEC rated, so no worries while climbing!


NOTES:
  1. Climbing required, hope you're not afraid of heights!
  2. Bring a buddy... Never climb alone!
  3. Winter friendly, but ice could be an issue.
