Geocache Description:

Olive trees have a timeless feel to them  They are among the more long-lived species of trees and can reach a ripe old age of over 500 years.


NOTE: This cache is best accessed from the north. In winter after heavy rain impossible to reach

The fertile Western Galilee has many olive tree groves and they come in different shapes.
Nowadays you can see a new way of growing olive trees in our area These new young olive groves are all machine picked, therefore the trees are squared at the top and sides so the picking machine has room to progress between the rows. Lines of wire keep the trees in line with each other.
Luckily for the environmentalists there are the classic traditional olive groves with olive trees in their natural shape giving such shade, you just want to take a nap under one of them. Hopefully with time the new tree regiments will outgrow their "corsets"!
The cache is hidden at  a nice view point over Western-Galilee where the two olive worlds meet.  On one side a new way grove with young olive trees and on the other side young trees which are already with their  beautiful classic shape. 
The cache has some SWAG but can contain a lot more and ther is place for TB's
By car you can with a four-wheel get there all the way through the fields from road 8611 Regba to Nes Ammim or walk or cycle from any direction on the  dirt roads between the fields ( dont forget plenty of water and a hat) * This cache is not easy reachable right after heavy rains, the dirt roads are heavy clay, wait a few days!

 Here as extra reward for finding the cache a banner you can put on your profile page!
