Geocache Description:

The terrain of Mackinac Island is varied. Once you head away from the shoreline, the elevation increases. Mostly smaller rolling terrain once you're on top. Transportation on the island is limited to walking, bicycling or horses. I have not placed any cache that would require you to scale any steep grade. If you think you need to climb or descend any steep grade, there's a better way to approach from a different road or trail.

Most caches are close to the trail or road, or at most, a dozen or two steps off. There are a number of points of interest to stop and take in the sights. If you use a bicycle, please remember to park your bike off of the trail or road.

When I was placing this cache I noticed the tree this cache is hidden at has two branches that came out from the trunk at a 90 degree angle. I heard that Indians would bend small branches in trees to from a seat that they could hunt from or be used as a trail marker. Since I typically have trouble deciding on what to name most of my caches, you now know where this name came from.

This cache is a bit trickery then most I place on Mackinac Island. please be careful when searching for it and please return it as found for the next cacher. Thank you.

I have created a remote web page with general information for geocaching on Mackinac Island. Please visit this link for the latest info.

I read many of the logs that are posted on my caches, but sometimes I can't read all emails. If you find a problem with any of my caches, please post a "Needs Maintenance" log. Logs of that type are filtered into a special inbox that gets 100% read. Thank you.
