Geocache Description:

You are looking for a large bison tube. Please bring your own pen to sign the log. 

It's actually the tree that is troubled more so than the water. If this cache had been placed a few years ago it would have been a tree climb. 

It will be challenging to approach GZ. You'll have to climb 'through' but not 'up'. Take the long way around.


You'll need some stealth when searching for this one. Terrain rating may seem moderate to some, but I'm going to err on the high side since it might take a little work to approach GZ. You should not have to get wet.

Update (Nov 10, 2015): The coords are very bouncy in here. I had 4m accuracy when I took the reading, but you are likely to have a tough time with the coords. I will update them when I can. Congrats to carnigrewal and tiggrrr on the FTF!!

Update Oct 9, 2017: Coords were updated. The tree you are interested is the one with its roots exposed just a few steps from the bottom of the stairs. They are big roots, and it's a big tree. But approach the cache from the other side of the stream.
