LavaLizard: One of the Geocaching Guidelines that we abide by in placing geocaches reads as follows:
Do not harm plants, animals, or environment
Do not harm plant or animal life when you place your cache. Do not place caches in a location that requires or encourages geocachers to harm plant or animal life. In some areas, geocaching activity may need to cease for portions of the year due to sensitivity of some species.
It has come to my attention that significant alterations were made to this tree when this cache was placed. I am, therefore, archiving this cache as not meeting either the letter or the spirit of the above guideline.
