Geocache Description:

This cache has been updated and made a little easier!!

Griffin’s Backyard is a multi cache that when originally placed required Geocachers to first find two clues that were/are located in two different Ottawa area 4-season caches.


You will walk approximately 2.5 km if all goes well. The cache container is well stocked with items in the dog theme.

How to find this huge dog themed cache:

1.Clue #1 What is a Griffin?

2. Clue #2 Read and remember the information about Griffin listed on Little Raven's user profile page.

3. The coordinates for the 1st redirect are those given for the cache page. Park @ N 45 15.890 W 075 54.518

4. The correct multiple-choice answer to the “Griffin Quiz” redirects will send you to the next redirect or cache.

5. There is one “Missing Link” redirect and one simple metal tag redirect.

6. The “Missing Link” is something we ran into when looking for the “GQ” multi cache by Grizzlyg. It was an appealing touch, which we are duplicating (thanks Grizzlyg). When you are certain that you are at the “Missing Link’s” location, take a bearing of 165 degrees true north and walk 136 metres to the next redirect.

Be sure to bring your four-legged friend with you, as there are usually a few dogs around who are in general very playful. This is where we bring Griffin for his runs and he has many buddies that also run and play in this area.

There is a photo album (4”x6”) in the cache. Please bring a picture of your four-legged friend and slip it into the photo album for all to see. You can also post a picture of him/her in the cache log.

“Griffin My Best Friend” Travel Bug will start his travels from this cache.

The Large Cache Container will started with the following items:
Dalmatian dog hand puppet
Dog collar
Scamper the Husky
Small white dog
Nikki with scarf and hat
Dog stickers
Spunky the Cocker Spaniel
Dog ink stamp
White floppy eared dog
Jingleup Santa dog
2 Rope chew toys
2 Dog fridge magnets

Please try and keep the trades within the Dog theme. No dog food, rawhide or odour toys please.
