Geocache Description:

1 quart Tupperware container

Be very, very careful.

This cache has a long (well perhaps not so long) and colorful history.

Part One

I had placed a cache for the 2004 Chicagoland Geocachers Picnic called 'Cook County Cemetery' and after a few groups had entered the grounds of Oak Forest Hospital the security there asked for it to be removed.

Part Two

Nervous Nick and I had placed a cache after the picnic as a memorial and after being reviewed by the cache owner he stated...

"Nobody will climb the tree to get to it. 10 or 15 feet is one thing, but from that height somebody could possibly be killed if they slipped and fell."

Part Three

Needless to say the memorial cache was retrieved and the cache from the Cook County Cemetery (With a new logbook) was put in its place.

Be very, very careful.

All who have been up there agreed is very dangerous.

DO NOT ATTEMPT unless you are very good at this sort of thing and/or have the proper equipment to make sure you don't fall.

Make sure it is tethered securely.

With all of that said, Have Fun!
