FOREST FUN - THREE DIGIT PUZZLE Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

buddysally: After conferring with some cachers who did the climb today, I have decided to archive this cache, as the branches may present a problem to future climbers. Will put the same puzzle out in the same tree, in the near future, but will place it so that the tree will not need to be climbed.

WARNING:

The terrain ratings for this FOREST FUN series are justified. Most are either tree climbs or in an elevated location that will require some thought and a strategy to get to. For safety reasons, it would be best not to do this series solo; safety in numbers. Also, if you are in any way uneasy about the tree or the climb, do not attempt it.
