Hanging by a Thread Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

StvCacher: It looks like the tree is now becoming part of the river and I am no longer there to do maintenance. So, it was fun and glad everyone that went had a chance to enjoy it.

Geocache Description:


This cache is located right off the Fort Riley River Walk. You do not need to enter Fort Riley.  Parking is located right before the Post entrance. It is an easy stoll about .8 miles from the parking lot. Just follow the path and you will find it. 

Hiding in plain sight, but the trail is very well traveled, so beware of muggles passing by.

This cache is just hanging by a thread. So, please ensure the cache is secured prior to leaving. Thanks



****WARNING****

Poison ivy can be found growing in any of the following three forms:
1. as a trailing vine that is 10–25 cm tall (4 to 10 inches)
2. as a shrub up to 1.2 m tall (4 feet)
3. as a climbing vine that grows on trees or some other support.

I think that there is a climbing Poison Ivy at this cache. Please wear proper clothing. If you have gloves, please rip the vine down and out and throw it down the hill.

The following three characteristics are sufficient to identify poison ivy in most situations:
(a) clusters of three leaflets,
(b) alternate leaf arrangement,
(c) lack of thorns.

Vines growing on the trunk of a tree become firmly attached through numerous aerial rootlets known as reddish "hairs"
