Geocache Description:

DO NOT REMOVE THE CONTAINER! PLEASE LEAVE IT IN PLACE AND ONLY REMOVE THE LID TO GET TO THE LOG.


When I was still in my rookie year of Geocaching, I stumbled upon many caches by some nut case named 5BizzyBs.  I call him a nut case because he hid some of the nuttiest hides in the area.  Many involved climbing trees, something that has always made me nervous.  One of the first memorable climbs came at Penny Pony.  Not the highest 5BizzyBs hide, but one that made my heart pound with it's nearly limbless climb, shimmying up while clutching that tree with my arms and legs every inch of the way.  I remember the rocky creek below and thinking about how painful it would be to fall.  Still glad that didn't happen!

This hide is in a tree that is not nearly as scary as that one, but requires you to move in a similar manner to retrieve (unless you bring a ladder but that wouldn't be nearly as fun!).  I would often stare at this tree while waiting to make a left turn at the light coming out of Austin Landing.  Always seemed cache-worthy and now it has one!
