This cache was originally placed by Odyssues2000 and then maintained by CommanderUSN before jones farm took over in November 2023. The original cache details appear below.
A nice sized cache for a forest - a good size for some swag.
RESPECT MOTHER NATURE
Once you get to ground zero, this should be an easy find and an obvious beacon. It will take you thru a lovely hike in the woods along the bike path. Easy walking, but a bit of a grade, hence the 2.5 terrain rating. Enjoy the views, but be respectful of the environment. The cache is just a few steps off the asphalt - tread lightly.
Do NOT try this from Pleasant View Road - fast traffic and no stopping
Stay Safe Out There!
THE STORY:
Ents are a very old race from Middle Earth, as described in the J.R.R. Tolkien's books. They look like huge trees, and are wise, patient and deliberate. They lived in the Fanghorn Forest. After much harassment and attacks by Saruman's armies, who destroyed the forest and cut down the trees, the Ents revolted. Led by the oldest Ent, Treebeard, they went to war to protect the environment. Many fought to the death, and few survived. But they carried the day in success.
Placed for Earth Day 2019
