Hi. I'm Heartland Cacher, the volunteer reviewer for new caches submitted to Geocaching.com from Nebraska and Wyoming.

Cache owner is either unwilling or unable to maintain the cache. Cache maintenance includes listing maintenance including updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, removing needs maintenance attributes and enabling the listing.

I am archiving the listing for the time being. Should the owner decide to maintain the cache in the near future (next 30 days), just contact me (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, I'll be happy to unarchive it.

Thanks for your understanding,
Heartland Cacher,
Your friendly Geocaching.com reviewer

Geocache Description:


The Phrase "Man's Best Friend" originated in a court of law in October 28, 1869. A dog-called Old Drum was shot to death by a disgruntled neighbor. Animals had no rights back in those days, but Old Drum’s owner wanted justice and so he hired 3 lawyers to sue the man who shot his dog. One of these lawyers named George Graham Vest originally coining the phrase "Man's Best Friend" during his final summation to the jury. By the time he was finished with his speech, the jury only took 2 minutes to reach a verdict. The jury awarded the victim $5, a very large amount of money back then, the jury also wanted the man to be sent to prison but there were no laws governing this type of incident back then so the judge was unable to honor the jury's request for prison time.

Oh Lord, don't let me once forget.
How I love my trusty pet.
Help me learn to disregard.
Canine craters in my yard.
Show me how to be a buddy.
Even when my sofa's muddy.
Don't allow my pooch to munch.
Postal carriers for lunch.
Shield my neighbor's cat from view.
Guide my steps around the poo.
Train me not to curse and scowl.
When it's puppy's night to howl.
Grant I shan't awake in fear.
With a cold nose in my ear.
Give me patience without end.
Help me be my dog's "best friend".
