This cache is an EXTREMELY
FUN six point traditional multi with the first stage being a

CHOICE, 4X4 TRAILS LEAD TO ALL STAGES!
THE SAGA CONTINUES...
Ben increased his efforts to find Fido after several
GEOCACHING DETECTIVES reported they had seen where Fido had
been recently.
Ben continued tirelessly to talk to the local people, post lost dog
signs, and put notices in the paper for a reward for First to Find
Fido!
It was hot today so Fido spent sometime laying down in the water at
a nearby canal. After several hours, Fido decided he better get on
his way. He climbed up a hill and made his way towards a small
park. His nose got a whiff of something powerful. After rooting
around in a small group of trees he discovered the source of the
smell. It smelled "human" and was a discarded sock (stage 1). It
wasn't Ben's though, and he continued on.
A quick movement caught his eyes over by the trees and he
wandered over to see what it was. "Hi, I'm Rocky" said a small
squirrel as he was gathering nuts.(stage 2)
Fido was about to reply, when all of a sudden Rocky yelled "LOOK
OUT!"
Fido turned to see a determined man trying to put a net over him.
It was a dog catcher! Fido took off in a scared sprint across the
park, down the road, and onto a canal trail before he stopped to
catch his breath.
As Fido sat there panting he heard a croaky voice say "Why are
you so tired? What are you running from"?
"I'm Fido, I'm lost, and I was talking to Rocky when someone came
up behind me trying to catch me, so I ran and here I am," replied
Fido.
"I'm
Mama Frog and you can hide
back here behind the hill until he leaves," said Mama Frog. So Fido
(stage 3) hung out for awhile with Mama Frog and although Mama Frog
didn't know where Ben was he said Myrtle might be able to help.
Fido took off to find Myrtle. As he trudged along a dirt path he
came upon an unsual sight in the canal. "Why would a car be parked
down there"? Fido pondered.
Just then he saw someone coming, so he jumped into the bushes on
the other side of the trail to hide. It was just some kids on
bicycles riding by. As he started to leave his collar got caught on
(stage 4) a tree and it got yanked right off of him. "Oh well,"
said Fido as he went to look for Myrtle.
"Mrytle, where are you" said Fido as he approached the area that
Mama Frog said Mrytle lived. "My name is Fido, and I'm lost and
Mama Frog said you would help me," spoke Fido.
Silence.
Finally, a small voice from under a large fallen tree next to the
trail said, "Over here". Fido walked over to see a turtle on the
ground. (stage 5) "I'm Mrytle the Turtle. Are you really Fido?"
"Yes,why?"asked Fido.
"I heard a group of people walk by here about an hour ago. They
said they were the GEOCACHING DETECTIVES and they they were
complaining about how there GPSr would not settle down here and how
they hoped to find Fido soon."
This bit of news made Fido's heart leap for joy! Ben was looking
for him! "Do you know where I can find Ben?" asked Fido.
Just then there was a shout and he heard someone say "Get
him!".
A loud noise ripped through the air and debri flew up beside him.
Someone was shooting at him!
Fido took off like a rocket and ran down the trail, around a
corner and into the woods. He found a small shelter by a tree where
he thought he could hide until they were gone.(stage 6)
