Please do not describe any part of this geocache in your public
logs! You will know when you are close when you find the lowest
spot of this Greenbelt trail. That part is often under at least a
few inches of water. I believe you can get to it without having to
cross any water by starting near my
The Fox Den cache, but that is a longer walk.
In an attempt to relate the original geocache to the concept
of "Powers of Ten," the first container was like a
Russian nesting doll. The log paper was within the last
of 5 "dolls."
So what is "Powers of Ten"? Once when a little boy was studying
an ant crawling across the floor of his house he asked his mother,
“We never will know how big the house is will we?” What he meant
was, from the ant’s perspective, the house was seemingly limitless
in size. So how do WE comprehend how big our house, the universe,
really is? Well, in 1957 a Dutch educator came up with a way to
express the size of things from really big to really small in his
book called "Cosmic View, the Universe in 40 Jumps". Then two
decades later, Charles Eames and Philip Morrison made what has
become a classic 9-minute film showing the same concept. Their
movie was called, “Powers of Ten.” An animation of this unique
concept can be found at the
following location. Now when you
sequentially "close in" on the log book in this cache think of this
animation and try to imagine why I called this hide, Powers of Ten.
Here is another cool website having to do with
proportions.
The coordinates will lead you to a 4 inch long tube at a height
of 5 feet. Look through that tube. In one of two directions it
points to a rather large "cache tree." The tree is not far off.
It's up to you to find it.
