A Tannenbaum is a fir tree (in this instance a cedar). The lyrics do not actually refer to Christmas, or describe a decorated Christmas tree, however for the purpose of this geocache it is decorated this first December that this geocache is published. Instead, the lyrics refer to the fir's evergreen qualities as a symbol of constancy and faithfulness.
This geocache is a memorial Cache placed for our Dad and Grandfather. He represented a constancy and faithfulness by living example to us.
He was a big fan of Christmas and always was on the look out for the perfect Christmas tree. When it came time to get the tree in December he always had the perfect one picked out. We will decorate this tree this year and remember to decorate it next again. The cache is here is symbolic of his antique train that he had and occasionally would bring it out and set it up to run around beneath the tree. The container was a gift for this geocache from CarolNTexas. We hope you enjoy this geocache as you find the container and replace it for others to enjoy. Please pull safely off of the road although it may be muddy and the ground soft on occasion. Cache has room for small trade-able items..
