The Old, Old Tree Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

islander1988: Well, this cache has had a pretty good run, but it will still be a while before I am able to get here myself to do maintenance. It has also been muggled multiple times, meaning it would likely get muggled again. So, I've made the decision to let this one go. Perhaps someone else will hide a new cache here to bring people from outside Kyiv to this spot.

Thank you to the 300+ cachers who came here and logged a find in the past 8+ years. Stay safe & happy caching!

Geocache Description:

A quick cache near Andreevsky Spusk.

Not far from the winding street of Andreevsky Spusk (known to some as Souvenir Hill), is an ancient tree.


The information sign on the fence says the tree is 350 years old. And how old is the sign?


Due to the ancient tree being less than 0.1miles from one of my other caches I put the cache container itself a little ways away. It is a black plastic bison tube, attached with a zip tie about 2m up in a tree limb on the side towards the path. There is a zip tie left in one tree from a previous container hidden the same way, so if you find an empty zip tie, check the next tree. If there's an empty zip tie there too, then it's been muggled again.
Please be discreet as there will probably be muggles wandering about. You will need to bring your own pencil. If you wish to visit the tree this cache is named for, it is located near the cache at N 50° 27.452 E 030° 31.025 .
