Anyone ever done any geocaching? More specifically, anyone ever put a cache high up in a tree?

Put it high up and fellow cachers will rag on you in the journal/log book, I believe it's one of the rules that is has to be obtainable without tools, like shovels.
Nick Araya in the LA area has put up a few, other tree climbers have as well. As far as safety is concerned, you can be strategic, ie: put it in a tree that only an experienced tree climber would have the possible chance to get to it. Non-tree climbers are pretty much mystified if the first branch in a tree for example is over 50 ft. etc. They don't have the skills to set the rope.

what is geocaching
Wait a minute, if it's up high how are they going to rag in the logbook if they're not technically capable of getting to it?

on the website when the sign the online journal, but I'd imagine it would state that climbing gear would be required, then mountainman (site boss) would decline it, I've had run ins with him before. Maybe qualify as a killer cache (almost impossible to find)

Turns out there exists an "extreme" version of this hobby - as in extreme sports. Maybe that's where this is best suited. I don't know much about it yet. Also, disclaimers like "if you're not a professional tree climber with all the necessary gear, don't even think about it" should keep the idiots away.
...someone usually asks me if I caught any geochachers lately.
Extreme yes that is what I told the band of happy jacks trapesing through my backyard. I told them " I am getiing extemely pissed off that you are trapseing through my back yard" Then I took thier granola bars.
All the while this boob is showing me his gadget and I am like feeling all Deliverance so I take it out of his hand and start banging it on the fence saying " It don't look like its working" so he grabs it back out of my hand and leaves cause it took him that long to get the idea, haven't seen him since. or anybody else cause I recommened that the spot all these knuckleheads kept going with their gadgets be striken from the list of spots knuckelheads go with thier gadets.
All these parks round here and they have to come through my place for this stuff? Hell, go down to any of the parks and do that.
