I apologize sincerely for this cruel and prickly cache. This is indeed a pine-tree hide. Even worse, it's a hard pine-tree find. You will need to actually touch the branches to find this little-bugger. For years I always hated this kind of hide.... until I added something to my cache bag. A cheap pair of gardening gloves. Now I love pine tree hides... Ok, that's a little too much praise... I tolerate them with a smile. Sure you look like a maniac petting the local trees in the park, but It's best to have no shame. Of course if you TRULY and DEEPLY hate Conifer Caches.. then this is to be avoided... but if you're anything like me, you know you're going to want that Smiley eventually.
Keep Calm and Cache On!
