The name of this hide is due to the fact that when I was
scouting this area to place a new hide of my own I was surprised to
find a lost and undocumented one already here. Read the story:

- sipafz - Jack for GC1A46G Puppy Luv - Located in Clinton, Iowa. To say that this was an unconventional
find is an understatement! I live in Saukville, Wisconsin which is 155 miles to the north-east
of Clinton, Iowa. I have never been to Iowaand have not signed the log for this cache
"in Iowa", but will still take credit for this
find. Here is the story: As my brother and I had lunch today
in Port
Washington,
Wisconsin, I looked out the restaurant window and
saw a monument made out of a huge propeller in the harbor marina. I
said "let's walk over and check out that monument for a possible
geocache hide". So we walk over and start looking around. I put my
hand inside some of the support structure and what do I find? Your
geocache that had been muggled last
April named Puppy Luv GC1A46G. I kid
you not! Inside, I found the log sheet, a quarter, a pen and two
puppy micro caches. At the time I was very confused as to why this
cache was there. Since I knew the area and have been very active
caching this winter I knew that something was not right. I did not
know all the details so I signed the log, replaced the cache and
headed home to search out the answers to my many questions. This is
what I have surmised: Two non geocaches by the names of Stacy and
Billy must have inadvertently found the cache in
Clinton, misunderstood how the puppy cache was
intended to work and took the whole container to
Port Washington
and hid where I found it 8
months later. They signed the log on 4/11/09, but I see that they never logged
anything online. I have included some photos to validate my story.
One picture shows the area where the cache was found and the next
shows the cache and contents including the log which should look
familiar. As mentioned the cache had two stray pups that my
daughter CC and I will adopt. I will be naming mine Sassy after the
dog that I had when I was a kid. I left “Sassy” at the
sight where I found you cache. CC is still undecided as to the name
for her pup, but I'm sure she will decide soon. Once our Puppy
Luv Caches are released I will drop
another note to let you know. I told you that this was an
unconventional find! Jack
What a
whacky story. Just goes to show that you never know what you will
find until you look or like in this case - reach. Enjoy –
Jack
