Part of the Family Fun Intro to Geocaching Series around Waneka Lake

 

The Name Pretty Much Says What it Is ... A Tree Hanger

 

This is another cache in our family friendly introduction to Geocaching series around the beautiful Waneka lake. Lots of cachers employ some version of a tree hanger, so this will help you get used to the type of container and how it is placed. In this case it is a small Bison Tube, a container that is roughly 1.5 inches tall and about 0.5 inches in diameter ... think smaller than a small pill bottle.

Cachers will almost always use some sort of camo for these containers, and in this case it is wrapped pretty well with standard forest camoflage tape. I have hung it so it blends in pretty well with its surroundings so you will need to look very close to find it. Please leave the cap of the cache zip-tied as it is and just unscrew the base of the container to access the log. Feel free to leave a small charm and take one to pass on into the cacheoverse. The hint is a bit longer than will fit in the normal space, so if you need it then scroll to the last lines below

Good luck, team!

HINT

To find this cache you'll need to be where I've been,
So take a deep breath, duck down, and go on in.
A grave digger knows how deep a hole should go
About that high is where your gaze should follow.
You're on the right track if you see something Serpatine
Towards a rhyme with Beast your eyes must align.
