Fairly easy cache not far off of the highway.

The cache shouldn't be too hard to find as it's not too far away from Granny's tree, the coordinates should get you pretty close.  The container is camouflaged and big enough for some trade items
This cache location has sentimental value to our family.  My Grandmother (Granny) used to decorate the small tree next to the highway each year for Christmas.  She'd really go all out with balls, garland, and ornaments!  Then, each spring, she'd take it all down, and continued this tradition for many years.  I've noticed that several years after she passed away, someone still decorates it from time to time, and there were actually remnants of some garland still on it today when I placed the cache.  I think of her each time I drive by and see this tree, and will take the kids and decorate it ourselves one of these years!  
 
The original contents consist of:
 
A trackable Geocoin
Some rattlesnake eggs
A seashell from Oregon
A Mickey Mouse golf ball from Florida
A Barbie watch
A plastic ring
Some glow in the dark critters
A silver button cover
A log and pencil
And an Angel Christmas ornament to watch over the tree
 
I hope you enjoy the cache, and feel free to leave some presents under the tree!

We looked for this one in 2016 with no luck. We missed it on the way to Craig. Looked again on the way back . Granny tree is gone, We always enjoyed seeing it, but we did find the cache.

DNFed this one today.
I spent 5 minutes looking for this one. I sure found it to be tough, even slightly dangerous terrain, so I'm glad I had my hiking boots on. I just couldn't spot anything, but I hope the cache container is still there! Nice background story nevertheless.
