Geocache Description:

Abbotsford's first tree climbing geocache I believe.

I have wanted to hide a tree climbing cache for a long time, but never got around to it.
After having so much fun on some of the new tree climbing caches in Chilliwack, I decided Abbotsford needed its own.


Please be warned, this is not an easy climb, and most people will not be able to do it.

At the coordinates, there are a few trees. The tree you are looking for is a large cedar tree on the edge of the bank. The branches at the bottom are a bit high, so getting started will be tough for the vertically challenged.

Look up about 40 feet and you may be able to see a small white micro cache.

Climbing trees can be dangerous, so please use caution. If you have climbing gear, use it. I would also recommend bringing a fellow cacher with you, in case of an accident.

As not everyone is going to be able to climb this tree, you may have one cacher climb up and sign for the group.
Now have fun climbing, and be safe.



Every Time I Climb a Tree

Every time I climb a tree
Every time I climb a tree
Every time I climb a tree
I scrape a leg
Or skin a knee
And every time I climb a tree
I find some ants
Or dodge a bee
And get the ants
All over me.

And every time I climb a tree
Where have you been?
They say to me
But don't they know that I am free
Every time I climb a tree?

I like it best
To spot a nest
That has an egg
Or maybe three.

And then I skin
The other leg
But every time I climb a tree
I see a lot of things to see
Swallows rooftops and TV
And all the fields and farms there be
Every time I climb a tree
Though climbing may be good for ants
It isn't awfully good for pants
But still it's pretty good for me
Every time I climb a tree
