I have noticed that there seems to be alot of moose activity in the area recently.
First Mostly Moose has placed the Beyond Cool Cache. Then Scoobert tells us the Moose is Loose.
Since I already have the My Dog Kangaroo cache in the area over in the District of Oz,
I thought it would be time to send my Norwegian Elkhound after this loose moose.
Now you may ask why send an "Elk Hound" after a moose???
I will let the text (that I lifted from the Wikipedia Norwegian Elkhound page) below explain for me.
The AKC breed name "Norwegian Elkhound" is a mistranslation from its original Norwegian name "Norsk Elghund," meaning "moose dog." In Norwegian, "Elg" means "moose;" and "hund" means "dog." Despite its name in America, it is not a hound dog, it does not hunt like a hound dog, nor is it physically or physiologically related to a hound dog in any way. The breed's goal in the hunt is to hold the moose at bay - jumping in and out toward the moose - until the hunter can arrive to shoot it.
The Norwegian Elkhound is one of the ancient Northern Spitz-type breed of dog and is the National Dog of Norway. The Elkhound is commonly referred to as the "Dog of the Vikings," and has served as a hunter, guardian, herder and defender at least since the time of the Vikings. In a land of subzero temperatures, deep snow, thick forests and rugged mountains, only the hardiest of the breeds could evolve to perform the variety of jobs at which the Elkhound excels. Its Spitz courage is probably a by-product or residue of the fact that a significant number of them were used to hunt bear and other large game, like moose. The Norwegian Elkhound was first presented at a dog exhibition in Norway in 1877.
Trailhead and parking are behind the fire station in Cool, in the vicinity of N 38° 53.339, W 121° 01.041.
The Auburn State Recreation Canyon Keepers (ASRACK) have an online Trail Guide page which includes a guide for the Olmstead Loop.
Please log your find or no find online so I will know how the cache is doing.
If you feel my coordinates are off please post your coordinates with your log.
So I can make adjustments if necessary.
No more boring log entries.
Hey folks how about leaving a log entry that tells me something about finding this geocache or about your day of geocaching? We are all guilty of the old cut and paste but how about something more than "Good cache TNLNSL TFTC" on 10+ caches in one day? We cache owners like to hear about your experiences. It gives us a feeling of being there when we can't be, how the cache is doing, and it lets us get to know you in a virtual kind of way. That doesn't mean it has to be long just not boring.
Remember the cache owners and anyone with a watch on the cache will read your log, how about making it interesting.
We Thank You.
