It's not often that you get to catch t-poisoning on camera...but here you go. Mike was at the office and we were looking for this cache.
We found it....Can you spot it?
Find the "V" in the tree and look up the right branch. NOW - how were we going to get to it and how would we put it back up there????? *I* began to think this out. I've noted that there are quite a few "older" cachers in our area, and I doubted that anyone would place a cache in a spot where the only way to get it down was to CLIMB....since it was listed as a 2.5 in difficulty.
While I thought, the boys sprang into action.
First, Jared climbed on to Cy's shoulders....wasn't tall enough....
Then Cy climbed on Jamin's shoulders....grabbed the tree at the highest point he could reach...and climbed.....He grabbed the cache and realized it wasn't giving....
A ha!!! - A green rope runs from the Cache to a nearby tree...
Josiah holds the rope as he and Jamin prepare to replace the cache....
I'm convinced the girls and I would have thought this one through...but the boys were up that tree and down as quickly as we would have found the rope. We laughed long and hard when Cy found the rope and the boys realized the cache was on a pulley system. Great fun. We were going to have Mike go back and see how he would initially respond....but we couldn't keep from telling him the story. We'll never know for sure....

We had a cache like this. The only way we found it was the leaves weren't on yet. It was a fun hide.
Good for the boys meeting the challenge, but like you, I always figure there must be an easier way!
HI GUYS:
Still looks like a lot of fun to me.
