Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Are puzzles driving you crazy? Do you need a confidence booster, an easy win? Well, here’s something that may appeal to you… A series of EASY puzzles that do not require a special skill set or degree in computer science. A clear mind, positive attitude, and sense of humor are the only things you will need to have a little puzzle solving fun. Enjoy!

You must solve the puzzle below to determine the final coordinates. Here’s a chance to test your arborist skills and knowledge. When identifying a tree, an arborist studies its structure, trunk, branches, leaves and, if applicable, its flowers and fruit. One of the trees below is not a real tree. Can you correctly guess which one? If you guessed correctly, you will find the cache at the coordinates provided. (Here’s a hint: Bipedal creatures in tree costumes would not fool a true arborist.)

This puzzle is the sixth in a new series of EASY puzzles that I have placed on Mount Tamalpais. If you would like to solve and find some puzzle caches, and if you like easy to moderate hiking, then this series is for you! All of the puzzles in the series will be easy (intended to be 1-star), but the hides may bump up the difficulty ratings and the terrain ratings may vary some. All of the hides are micro or small, camouflage-taped pill bottles. This puzzle was inspired by charliewhiskey’s “So you STILL want to be an Arborist?” (GC63DQ0).

Good luck, have fun, and as always, please return the cache as found or better!

Please note that West Ridgecrest Blvd. is open from 9:00 a.m. to sunset daily.
