This cache is very very close to my home...I have lived here for more than a decade and love the convenience of being so close to the highways, city and beaches. However, what saddens me is the willingness of people to 'chop' rather than think creatively and keep. I worry about the beauty of the tree in the middle of the roundabout and have placed this cache as a tribute to the tree. I have watched it grow from a baby to the majestic beauty it is now that welcomes me home every day. There used to be lots more trees - outside our complex and all through it, but apparently the leaves were an 'inconvenience' so they had to go. :-(
I appreciate that no-one has felt the need to chop this one down - just yet anyway, but I do wonder how long it will be. A little creative thinking when building the road has saved it so far. Over the years, kids have climbed in it, more than one cat has been up it, a neighbour walks round and round it for exercise...my son has climbed it and from the first time we started geocaching we have wanted to place a cache here.
So this cache is a small one...named for a couple of reasons but mostly because I am sure sometime (hopefully NOT in the near future) somebody will decide it is an 'inconvience' and we will lose the beauty of this little bit of nature in suburbia. So, I urge you to take the time to admire it's majesty while you can.
BYO Pen, no room for swaps - but there is a much sort after Stinson pathtag for the FTF (If you have one please leave it for the next person).
DiamonJS claimed the first FTF - however as this cache had to be moved and will be re-released, I have placed another pathtag for the 'Re-release FTF'.
