Geocache: PET preform in the woods

Another common hiding spot is between branches of trees. If it is on a power trail expect a petling there. Check it out:


PET preform between two branches of a tree

If you look at the tree from a distance and you are not an experienced geocacher there is a chance you will even miss it. In summer when everything is green the green petling with the green cap could be hard for an experienced geocacher also. In autumn the leaves falling from the tree could completely cover these hides. In the winter, yes you are right, the show could cover it up. And then if you happen to go in the beginning of the spring this is how you might find it.


Experienced geocachers can easily spot it from a distance

Once a friend of mine asked how to spot them if they are well hidden, so I told him to go close enough not to miss it, just like below, when you are closer it is more visible.

Beginners should go closer ... haha
The only small concern about these kind of hides is that sometimes the geocachers move the container a bit away or to the next tree as their GPS gives a different coordinates. To avoid this, it is better to make some holder for the container that is not hurting the tree and cannot easily be moved anywhere. I'll show some of those examples later.
