Geocache Description:


**The geocache is at the posted coordinates** But before you can log it online you need to complete the challenge:

Find a challenge cache at an elevation of at least 6000'. If it helps, there are several just around Pocatello.

The terrain rating is 4.5 to reflect the tough climb. Thanks to the bulbous knobbly trunk you can climb it with no gear to reach the first branch at 8' but a stepladder makes it a lot easier. The container is about 25' up the tree and you are well chidden once you're 8' up.

I personally have completed this challenge and you can use this checker below to see if you qualify:

PGC Checker

ISU's facility management team has graciously allowed us to use this tree for this geocache but the message may not have disseminated down to all staff and students across the campus. Use stealth or perhaps bring a frisbee disc when going for this one as a cover story.
