Geocache Description:

This is THE SAME cache as False arbovitae puzzle cache that was first listed in May of this year. The puzzle has run its course. There were two finders, Alchemist2000 and Geo Dee. I would say that they are ineligible to post another found log here since it is the same cache not moved, but I have the feeling that one of them would post a DNF anyway.

Early in its history, Cedar Hill served as the temporary capital of Dallas County and lied along a branch of the Chisolm Trail. It has the highest concentration of radio and TV antennae in the country. The area is full of native, eastern red cedar evergreen trees and stands at an elevation of about 500 feet above sea level--the highest point in a straight line from the Red River at the Texas-Oklahoma border to the Gulf Coast. Talking about cedars is somewhat confusing because many of the trees we call "cedar" are actually junipers, arborvitae or some other species altogether. That is the minutia that I learned while doing a little research on the area. The cache is located a couple of miles out on the DORBA trails. It is quite a hike to get here so come prepared and keep a look out for any dangerous wildlife. The proper permits have been filed with the park Rangers to place this cache.
