Geocache Description:

It is all about the dogs. The cache is more than two miles from the posted coordinates, in Hancock. You will need to solve the puzzle to determine the exact coordinates.


In the past, my family have owned three of this breed of dog. When our third one was a puppy, my Dad dubbed him "Search and Destroy" because he'd run around the house looking for things to chew. Luckily, buying a few sturdy chew toys and rawhide bones really helped.


The final location can be found at
42°59.ABC 071°58.DEF
where
A When grooming this dog, the coat must be stripped. 0=no, 1=yes
BC According to akc.org, the standard height of this dog, at the shoulder.
D Standard coat color of this dog (# of letters)
E The first digit of the standard weight of this dog
F Which group does this breed show under? 1=Toy, 2=Terrier, 3=Sporting

The Cache:
The cache is a small lock&lock. It is on a snowmobile trail easement near a cemetery, and just a short walk from parking, in the cemetery, or along the road.
