The Oak Tree
I love discovering unusual trees while going for walks with my family so, for this cache, I chose the Oak Tree because I like the story behind it (see story of The Oak Tree below).
You will find there a red lid 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 king of the forest, the oak tree, is a symbol of courage, durability and strength. In stories, it is often a doorway into the secret heart of the forest. An Indian legend claims that the oak tree posseses the power to heal.
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 don't forget to hug this one before you leave!
