Geocache Description:


Get ready to rock! The cache name is a subtle reference to "Lone Pine Mall" from Back to the Future and Skyline Drive.

In the movie, the mall was initially called Twin Pines Mall.  When Marty traveled to 1955, he accidentally ran over one of a pair of pine trees in Mr. Peabody's front yard when the shotgun-toting farmer opened fire on him, thinking the yellow-suited figure which had crashed into his barn was an alien disguised as a human. Subsequently, when Marty returned to 1985, there was only one pine tree on the illuminated sign at the mall entrance and, as a result, the mall's name had changed to Lone Pine Mall.

You are looking for a lone tree on Skyline Drive.  We are guessing this tree has been here for at least a century as it is huge!

The tree is next to a fairly active road and Skyline Trail, so some stealth will be needed!

While the cache is small, it is just big enough for tiny trinkets.  My kids love adding new toys and seeing what people leave behind.  

A paper log and pencil is included in the cache.

Please place the cache back in similar or same hidden spot for maximum camouflage.
