Jenners3 and TheLoraxGang found what's left of the this tree on the Big Tree Tour today. We fear
the storm on the 29th of June (the
derecho) was the cause of what happened to this
beautiful tree. Only about 15 feet of the tree is still standing the
rest of the tree was snapped off in the storm (see bottom photo). The geocache is still
there and in good shape but the tree is no longer the magnificent piece
of nature it once was. BTW the terrain is VERY bushy and VERY thorny. I
suggest long pants and water shoes.
NO PATHS at all to get in there
if you start at Layhill Park. Not sure how else people have navigated
to get there, but we ended up IN the water following the stream to get
back to the car. Lots of fun, though, and TheLoraxGang is ready to swing into action for more geocaching fun!
