Tree Hugger! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

fractal: I thought this would be my one cache that would never get plundered. Looks like I was wrong [:(]
I climbed the tree tonight and couldn't find the container. I didn't climb all the way to the top, but I had a good view from 75% up and still couldn't see it. I did find the stash note and a toy on the ground near the tree. I wish I could have at least got the camera back... and the logbook...
I have a feeling it was local kids that did this.
A request to people in the future: as much as you want to get more people into this game, please do not tell strange children that you need their help to find treasure! [;)] I don't think Victor was sufficiently warned about plundering...

So now... I'm in search of another tree and another container to put in a tree. Thanks to all who risked life and limb to find this cache.

Geocache Description:

Oregon is full of them Tree Huggers!!!


Ok... So I've calmed down a bit after Low-Medium-High, Contact, and Dude. This cache is simple. Just go right to the coordinates and find the cache... Oh.. When's the last time you climbed a tree?

Please use your best judgement before attempting this cache. If at any point you feel like you can not reach it, then stop. I don't want anyone getting hurt!

When you put the cache back, please try to put it higher than where you found it.
The cache is another unique container that I found at Wacky Willy's.
Smaller items will fit best in this container. A CD will not fit.
The container is split into 2 sections: One side for treasures, the other side is a first aid kit. Please do not trade with items in the first aid kit. They are there in case you need to use them :)

Note: Please only log this as a find if you actually get to the cache and sign the logbook. If you get there and decide to not climb the tree, please log it as either a 'not found' or 'note'. Thanks for understanding...

Enjoy!

**Update**

I scanned in the pages of the logbook from the 'frist round' of Tree Hugger. First round being that the cache made it to the top of the tree, and I brought it back down. Let's see how long it takes to complete 'round two'. The logbook pages are pretty interesting. Follow this link to check them out!
