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.
