05-Paw Patrol - Into the Woods Traditional Cache

I love discovering unusual trees while going for walks with my family so I chose this one to hide our 1st geocache and decided to name it The Bodhi Tree because of the roots covering it (see the story of The Bodhi Tree below).

You will find there a black film container with a small log in it. You will need to bring your own pen.

For a very long time, trees have been a strong feature in folktales, history, paintings, culture and arts. Their shapes and strength can invoke a powerful sense of spirituality. For centuries, civilisations have praised trees as a symbol of worship, celebration, and death. The sacred fig (Bodhi Tree) is native to Nepal, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. It is known as the Bodhi Tree (Sanskrit for “wisdom” or “enlightened”). It is believed that it is under this tree that Buddha gained his enlightenment. After Buddha’s death, the tree became a symbol of his presence and an object of worship. At Bodh Gaya, a new Bodhi was planted in 1881 after the original one died. Many other Buddhist temples plant this tree, as well. Trees have always provided food, shelter, wood, shade, and many other basic life needs for human beings. It is no wonder, then, that they are worshiped or praised in every civilisation. In many cultures, it is believed that hugging a tree releases negative energy from the human body. So do not forget to hug this tree before you leave!
