Geocache Description:

Us monkeys. Still good at climbing trees. Humans? After millions of years of evolution? Not so good anymore! : )~

Since it turns out that getting insurance to cover geocachers falling out of their trees is (heh) weirdly something the city of Portland never quite thought of, here is another version of Monkey See Monkey Do.


In order to do this cache, you'll still need to visit the original 'Monkey See, Monkey Do' tree. I'm still using the same coordinates from the original listing (they're 'off' by today's standards) but it remains the only tree in the immediate area that looks the most climbable. This time around though, and unlike us fellow monkey geocachers that were apparently sleeping when those 'bigger brain' genes were being passed out, you'll have absolutely no need to climb this thing. What you need now, human, is to first find a double set of numbers. Then using that 1,300 - 1,400 gram mass of nerve tissue you currently are in possession of, you'll now add the numbers you just found to the numbers you already have and off you go. Enjoy!

Very winter-friendly cache, though it's weighted to help ensure it's recovery so be careful.

It's a small container good for only small trades. The container is in three sections. The upper lid will reveal the log, the other the swag. Bring a pencil just in case. Oh. And please replace the cache as you found it? : )

If geocaching history is of any interest to you, "Monkey See Monkey Do" is the third geocache ever hidden here in the state of Maine. For currently active caches, only "The Fort Williams Cache" predates MonSe MonDo, and only by two and a half months. It's right next door in South Portland; you should go. : )

I would like to give Jeff Kingston & Family full credit for the hide, even though I've had to change it up a bit. I've only recently adopted it after two years of being archived and brought it back as it was originally placed... but soon came up against a brick wall there was no way I could get around. Jeff eventually would have had to as well (had he still been with us) so this is surely the next best thing.

While you're here, be sure to visit " A Peaceful Read" by Beach Comber. It's a great hide!!
