Geocache Description:

Welcome, eager hitchhiker, as we embark on the intergalactic tour of your life. The GeoGalaxy is a vast, wonderful place where impossible things seem to occur when you least expect them. This journey will open up the secrets of the GeoGalaxy and lead you on to become great geocachers as you learn different things along the way. 

Let's consult the guide on our first stop.

First, we must start with the Answer. The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything. The Tree! 

This pheneomen is the natural source of all Geocaches in existence. This substance of glory and supernatural power is immense - there is no word to describe it. In the Beginning, there was a Tree. This Tree sprouted life and luxuries to everybody around it. And one of these luxuries was the Geocache. 

The Cacherydemphs of the Demph Star Race were the first to realise the power of the Tree. They unleashed its mighty powers by using its many tools to their advantage - soon they were the most advanced race in the Galaxy. And then the Geogrys Race discovered plastic - creating tuppaware boxes by the billions. These two ancient races met together in peace talks and announced their new Intergalactic Alliance as the Geocache. Millions came from lightyears away to be inspired by this Alliance. One of these men was Dave Ulmer, a humanoid alien from the Planet Milky Way C - otherwise known as Earth to its inhabitants. As Intergalactic Space Travel was not available because of the Earth's slow progress in realising that they weren't the only ones in the Universe, Dave Ulmer could never have been at the Ceremony of this Alliance. He merely received a faint telepathic broadcast from the Oogf People who were commentating on this Cermony from two lightyears away. Their only means of communication was by telepathy due to the absence of their mouths, so Dave Ulmer received their communication whilst sleeping. He woke up the next day and placed a Geocache. Soon the Earth was full of Geocaches and many of them being in Trees - or the more popular phrase - 'Base of Tree.'

So this Geocache is a tribute to the Alliance of the Cacherydemphs and the Geogrys and is thus placed in a 'Base of Tree'. 

No sticks please! The difficulty rating is higher than average because of the poor GPS signal.
