Geocache Description:

CYCLE OF LIFE

Parking is at a blocked gate. 
DO NOT BLOCK THE GATE.  YOUR VEHICLE WILL BE TOWED



Geo Dogs and I were hiking up to Angora Peak putting caches out as the opportunity presented itself.  This was a cool spot with the full cycle of life.  It had a full grown hemlock fir growing out of a stump with lots of downed logs laying around.  There were even a few saplings.
The cache is a small with no writing utensil in the cache though there is room for a small one, I just didn’t have any and couldn’t find any at Freddy’s this morning.  This was kind of a spur of the moment cache.  There is room for small trackables, like coins, though.  There is a small prize for FTF.
It is about a 2 ½ mile hike to the cache.  It is on a section of the hike that is on a heavily overgrown trail.  Long sleeves are encouraged as I got my arms all scratched up in short sleeves.  It is hidden behind a log just above the trail.  There is a spoiler picture.
As with all hikes, wear the appropriate clothing, i.e. boots, long-sleeved shirts, rain gear etc.  Bring water and food.  It is a long hike.  Know your limits and take that into consideration before starting.  All this being said, enjoy the hike.  It is a great hike in an area that is not visited a lot.
Congratulations to Team GWOOD for FTF

****2-21-21 Update. The cache has been moved since the log it was behind has rotted away. Hint and coordinated have been updated. No longer big enough for trackables.****
