Description EN

The Watcher

Part of the Greater Charlotte Geocaching Club's

Trees hold many secrets and within this park is one that once whispered it's secrets to cachers that took the time to ask.

On 7/2/2008 Therapaint revealed the location of of one such tree.

The Tree Whisperer

Time on the human scale passes more quickly but this tree has suffered the indignity of losing it's voice over our time and can no longer whisper it's secrets yet this tree is a sentinal still watching over a nearby cache. If you will kneel down and lean in closely you will hear no whisper but you may see what it sees.

Stage one is in place. The final however had been stolen. I'll have to look for a replacement container.

19 February 2018 themulcher Found it

It was a Beautiful day for a walk in the woods and we were not sure what to expect as we approached a familiar area. The park was not crowded at all and we were able to search with only one potential muggle in site. They had head phones on and didn't notice us. I spotted something unusual, and GPN was the first to take a look. After I had a chance to do the same, off we went, surprisingly in the correct direction. Found the container and signed the log. This is one cool concept. TFTC and a Favorite Point for creativity.

18 February 2018 GoinPostNet Found it

Met up with themulcher at my favorite geocaching park to find the latest cache addition here. After finally finding my caching partner, we made our way towards GZ. At this time of the year it was an easy trek to make a beeline straight to our target. However, in the summer it will probably be a slightly different story.

The weren't many disc golfers to worry about this morning and we located the first stage quickly. After finding the original cache in this area I wasn't sure what to expect, but we were both happily surprised with the unique method used to locate the final. The only other time I've seen this technique used was in the unlock your senses series, which was archived a while back. Off to find the cache...and we did in the first place we looked. Thanks for restoring a cache in this awesome park and making it a fun adventure...favorite point!

17 February 2018 tcox Found it

Was excited to see this new cache in Idewild and came out on a great February day to make the find. Was slightly confused at the first stage as we have never seen this concept before but soon figured out what to do. The cache was not at the first place we thought and which seemed to be the obvious place and we spend quite a bit of time poking and crawling around it. Decided to step back and take another look and found another area that would be suitable for the final. Had to wait out several groups of disc golfers who were all over the place on this Saturday but eventually was able to retrieve the cache and get our names on the logs. Thanks for the new one!
