Geocache Description:

Saw that there was a long stretch of road to Henry Coe Park that didn't have a single cache, so I thought I'd remedy that.

This barbed wire fence has been here so long, that the tree has just grown around it. These wires are now completely inside the tree. I wonder how long it must have taken for the tree to grow this far over these wires? I wonder if it's painful for the tree, or it it doesn't even notice? Either way, this poor sap (pun intended) now has a cache to bring it company on this lonely mountain road. :-)

The cache is just a few feet off the road, but you do have to climb up a little hill to get to it (which is why I'm marking it as a 2.5 terrain). The cache is not on private property, so please obey the signs and Do Not Enter. The cache is a camoed micro Bison Tube.
You can park in the turnout a couple of feet down the road from the cache location, and then walk a few feet up the road to the tree (which would be on the right side if you're walking up the road). Please be careful as this is a mountain road, and it's very curvy and somewhat hazardous to drive on.
And do be careful walking back. When I placed the cache, as I was walking back down the road on the right side of the road, there was a dead goat down the hill a ways, the poor dear. Try not to meet his fate, and don't go wandering down the hill.

Happy Caching!
