Geocache Description:

I don't know why I have been drawn to these types of hides of late, but I think that there is a need for them and it suited my mood for this afternoon. Welcome to "Hoof Hearted Ice Melted"


Please be warned that this is a bit of a tough cache and is not meant for everyone. If you are looking for a physical challenge and are not afraid of heights then come and get it. This is a much higher tree climb than most and there really is only one way to get the cache.

In my desire to fill my 81 grid this was the final box that I had to fill, the last stat in my quest. I was able to complete my journey on 26/11/2012. So when I found this location I decided that I would stretch my caveman abilities a little and make this worth your while.

Please be safety conscious while attempting this cache, at the very least bring a buddy. If you think a harness is required, please use it. If you want to line the ground with down feathers just remember to CITO them when you are done. On the day that I placed this cache the wind was blowing and the top of the tree (that's right, the top) was swaying several feet. Nerve racking to say the least, but it would be horrible if someone got hurt for a smiley, so please be extra careful. Bring a buddy to ensure that if the worst happens, there is someone to take pictures to show us what happened (just kidding)!!

I wasn't able to leave the climb as the only difficult part to this cache, so you are looking for a large bison tube wrapped in camouflage tape. It is hanging onto the tree with a carabiner that doesn't have too many other places it can go. Have fun and be safe, happy caching!
