My daughters and I were looking for a way to combine two of our passions - books and geocaching and decided the best way to do so would be to hide a cache in our Little Free Library. The Twisted Tree Free Library (#131998) and Geocache combine our two passions. The idea of this Little Free Library is that of a free book exchange -- take a book, leave a book, or both (your choice).
The Twisted Tree: What would cause a tree to grow in a spiral fashion like this? After doing a little research I found that there are several theories as to what causes this phenomenon. An emerging theory is that it is a clever adaptation for survival. The wood cells in trees can begin to grow in a spiral pattern to give the tree and branches more strength. A spiral pattern can also develop to strengthen tree trunks tasked with supporting an unusually heavy or uneven canopy.
This LFL is dedicated to the memory of my father who taught me that some of your grandest adventures can take place in the pages of a book.
