Geocache Description:

The tree spirits of St. Simons are very cool and unique. They are all over the island in oak trees and tell a story of sailors who lost their lives at sea. Each face is carved by hand. The cache is near one of these awesome faces. I"d like to see pictures of cachers with the faces making your own "face" for the log. Find all of them on the island.

Cache container is small and very near the face. Please place this back way in the hiding space so that it doesn't get lost or broken. This is only good for small swag items or travel bugs. Please log the bugs if you take them.

CONGRATS TO Scrapman and GaPatci21 for FTF!!! Article from web about these faces http://www.goldenisles.com/lore-legends-of-golden-isles/tree-spirits-of-st-simons-island If you look closely at certain majestic oak trees that cover St. Simons Island, it's possible to find one gazing back at you. Either peering out from the trunk (in-between two huge branches) or from the stub of a long-vanished branch, you may see the unmistakable image of a weathered face. These are the Tree Spirits of St. Simons Island -lovingly carved faces emerging from the trees. The images, created by skilled hands, immortalize the countless sailors who lost their lives at sea aboard the mighty sailing ships that were once made from St. Simons Island oak. Their sad, sorrowful expressions seem to reflect the grieving appearance of the trees themselves with their drooping branches and moss.
