There is this geocache in Maidu Park in Roseville. It's name is "The Multi-Magic Tree Cache". This cache is a multi-cache with a rating of 5/5. That means there are several stages you have to find in order to get the coordinates for the final stage, but it will not be easy as the terrain is difficult and the cache itself will be difficult to find.
We actually found all four of the stages earlier in the week. The first stage was easy. The second stage required climbing a huge oak tree. The third stage required crossing a rapidly flowing creek and climbing another oak tree. Neither of these stages was an easy climb, but Larry managed to get to the spot that hid the information we needed to continue our search.
Finally, we arrived at the final stage. What we found was a huge oak tree (see picture) with room "at the top" for a picnic. The problem: we had to get to the picnic spot. Larry and I were so exhausted after the other stages, we could not climb the tree if our lives depended on it. We eventually gave up, but figured we would return with a ladder in hand.
Saturday, Cynthia and Mike were here to geocache. We eventually ended up at the final stage to this cache. Mike loves to risk life and limb so we conned him into climbing the tree. He made it to the "picnic spot" and found the cache and signed the log for them and for us. Success!!!
You will have to read their blog (Cynthia & Mike) to find out what they thought of the whole thing.
It's amazing where this whole geocaching game takes us! We Love It!!
