Geocache Description:


If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a noise?   

While placing this cache, I did hear a tree fall...and it did make a noise.  Several noises actually.  It started as a slow, yet loud CRREEAAK...  Then a SNAP, followed by that unmistakable sound of gravity doing its thing.  Never saw the falling tree, only heard it.  And the birds were immediately gossiping about it.  GZ surely made a smaller creaky sound at one point and I wonder if anyone was around to hear that one?  

Oh, the nearby creek, by the way, does not make a creaky sound laugh  The nearby creek, instead, offers a soothing trickle as the water gently whispers by GZ.   Consider this cache a lovely hike-n-grab.   Enjoy.

UPDATE October 2021:  The tree that fell on the nearby walkway was not the tree I heard while placing that cache.  Anyone standing at GZ when that titan fell would have seen and heard it.  Yowzers.
