Description

I had never thought about putting a cache in a tree until one day in Ohio.  I was out on a business trip, meeting a vendor for a business dinner at a local restaurant and checked for nearby caches that I could grab after dinner on a blustery January evening.  I saw that there were 6 caches hidden in and around the sizeable plaza we were in.  Long story short, one of the caches was up on a hill in a stand of trees...92 feet up in a huge tree. wait, what? "please do not attempt to get this cache unless you are comfortable climbing 100 ft up in trees" WHAT? yeah, seriously.  uh...ok. I'll write that off as cultural differences and move on.  (no, I did not get the cache...I'm not a fan of heights nor have I ever considered getting 20 feet up in a tree let alone 100.  

This cache will prove no such challenge for you though it is up in a tree.  I found this tree and it just called to me "climb me" so I did.  After exploring all the nooks and crannies, climbing up "out of the clouds", I found this neat little area in the tree that seemed like it would be less trafficked than the rest.
