THE CACHE IS AT THE POSTED COORDINATES, BUT YOU MUST COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE BEFORE HUNTING AND LOGGING FOR THE SMILEY.
The study of trees is called Dendrology which is a branch of Botany that is the study of plants in general. Since becoming geocachers we have realized how often we are hunting for a cache within or near trees. Caching and Trees just go together. If someone mentions a hide is within the "Cacher's Tree" most cachers immediately know that means it is inside a Cedar Tree. We thought it would be fun to list some of our "Found" caches that include a tree type within the title. Upon checking several recent month's finds we easily listed 25 different types of trees. For this challenge we are only asking you to list 12 of your caches.
The challenge rules:
1. All previous finds count
2. A tree type may only be used once in your list
3. You may use Oak and then White Oak, Red Oak, Water Oak, etc., if those two word names are in the cache title.
4. If there are two types of trees within a title such as Maple and Oak, you must pick just one to use.
5. If there is any doubt about whether the name is truly a type of tree, google the questionable tree to see if it exists.
Please include with your log your list of qualifying caches that includes: titles, GC#, date of find. Our list is included below:
1. Champion Trees of AR - Lonoke County - English Walnut GC2N9Y6 Found 11-4-11 (English Walnut)

The actual container hide is only a 1.5 - 1.5. There is parking at GZ for one vehicle to get you safely off the road. Bring your own writing instrument as there is no room in the container for one. Please log anything interesting you see while finding this cache. Your log entry on the Geocaching website is our only reward for hiding this cache. This is Arkansas so please use caution at certain times of the year since we do have snakes, ticks, chiggers, skeeters, and poison ivy.... just to mention a few of the things that could make your day miserable
