Dryad Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Moorundi: An action had been taken on this cache because of one of the following -

No response from the cache owner to the previous reviewer note ask for this cache to receive maintenance.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As there has been no response I'm archiving this cache to stop it from showing up in my reviewer searches and new placement checks.

Please remember to return to the GZ and collect the cache or Check it has been removed if you have not already done so.

We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash and if you have any TB's or coins in your cache I'm sure the owners would want them moved on.

[b]This cache has now been taken off my watchlist and I will not see any notes you leave on the cache page from today[/b]

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article here.

Geocache Description:

As the name of this cache suggests, this cache dwells in the vicinity of a tree. It is part 1 of 2 in a Greek mythology themed cache series, placed in order to take advantage of the iconic pines of Maitland. This easy to spot cache contains only a log sheet.


In Greek mythology, dryads are tree nymphs (female tree spirits). Dryads were closely linked to the trees within they dwelled or dwelt near. If their tree were killed or felled, they, likewise, died. This was a crime for which the gods would avenge.

Dryads were generally shy creatures, who hid from people, but were known to punish those who would damage their tree. Dryads were friends to the goddess, Artemis.

Dryads appear widely within popular culture, including the poem "Dryad Song" by Florence Earle Coates: "We listen and sigh,—sigh and listen again."

The male counterpart of a nymph is a satyr.
