Geocache Description:

Circle of Trees....


This cache is part of a series set, totaling 33, for a FTF challenge for Shark Z. There is a unknown cache that will be after all the caches have been completed. You must sign all logs to be able to claim the unknown cache.

Redwoods produce millions of seeds, few are fertile, and fewer still are able to produce viable seedlings. Those that do survive, however, are among the fastest growing trees in the world. They can often grow 30 feet (10 meters) in the first 20 years. New trees are often produced from sprouts which form at the enlarged base of the trunk. These sprouts grow slowly, nourished by the root system and upper leaves of the “mother” tree. When the main tree dies, the sprouts are then free to grow as full trees, forming a “fairy ring” of trees around the stump of the initial tree. These trees in turn, may give rise to more sprouts, and the cycle continues.

Here is another one of my favorite hides in this series. I am just amazed at redwood fairy rings! I am glad that they let the road run right past this one and didn't cut all these trees down! This one may be a bit hard to find as time passes. The dropping of tree trash can really add to the camo of this cache. This cache as Yellow Dragon Tears.
