This cache was placed in conjunction with the Geocaching Summer Olympics (GCATPH0). Task #2 is a big 15 points for hiding a LARGE traditional cache. I hope you enjoy this one!
It's been exactly four years (1,461 days) since Davis2020's infamous attempt at GC8Z25G - T•F•T•T•C II (Stuck in the Mud), which ended with first responders pulling a geocacher out of the muddy mess that flows into the Mississippi River. Davis2020 returned one day later and scored the FTF on that cache.
I decided to make a return out to this area and hide another LARGE sized cache. The climb certainly isn't as tricky, but the trek in may be worse...
When I was new to geocaching in September 2014, I was hearing mythical stories of the likes of geocacherjoshua and hempmage. A couple years later I heard about aceey and weasel. We actually measure how high of a tree climb it is based on how many "Todds Tall" it is, a reference to my pal midwesthunter. I've personally been up in trees alongside Burnt Turtles, 2RottenPears, DTCBEARS, jpark2003, croling and many other cachers. Micros 20+' off the ground is a rush to find. They're one of my favorite styles. I recall my first "real" tree climb - GCJ's "Jackpot88's 500th Find Tribute" (GC4WTPE a 5/5!). Now *that* was a doozie of a climb! I've decided to give back to the tree climbing community with a small series - so Thanks For The Tree Climbs! Please sign and replace as found.
