A Really Crappy Multicache Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Wizard of Ooze: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within the requested time period, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities.

If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current geocaching.com guidelines. Please don’t post a note on your archived listing as it won’t be forwarded to me and I won’t see it. If you need to contact me, please do so by emailing me through the contact link on my geocaching.com profile page or through my website www.wizardofooze.com

Thank you for your contributions to geocaching, and we hope to see you actively geocaching once again in the near future.

Geocache Description:

Just a really crappy regular 5 stage multicache that will take you on a tour of my local "dog parks". You must go to every stage in order to find the coordinates for the next stage. We thought perhaps those of you with new puppies (or old ones) might find this cache somewhat useful.

Every stage of this multicache is pretty crappy. Seriously. Unless you are a dog.


Most of the stages are micro sized and contain only a log book with coordinates for the next stage, so bring your own pencil. One of the stages is very small, but does have a teeny pencil and a couple of very teeny "treasures". Only Teeny trade items will fit here. The final is a bit bigger and has a few smallish "treasures" in it, as well as the log book and pencil.


There is a sign at the entrance to the area where the final stage is located that says the park is open from dawn to dusk. I'm sorry, I know that's pretty crappy, cause you might not get finished the rest of the stages until after you aren't supposed to be in the park to get the final!


There isn't any particularily nice scenery at or on the way to any of the stages. None of the trails are that nice. You could walk if you wanted to, but it would be a pretty crappy walk, and take up most of your day. So it would be better to drive for this one, which is crappy for the environment.


There is no bushwacking required for any part of this multi. If you think you need to whack some bushes, look around a bit more for a trail (or deer path). You may want to bring a pair of disposable gloves for each stage, and maybe some baggies, and I just can't stress this enough, you really MUST watch your step!



One of these stages takes you to a nice park, with a playground and a dedicated off leash dog walking area, complete with poop bags and garbage containers, which apparently don't work very well, as a lot of people don't seem to use them. The off leash area here isn't a very nice area. It's pretty crappy. No good scenery, a lot of the trees got blown over, there's not a very long walk, it's quite often muddy, and did I mention pretty crappy? Again, I mean this seriously. Watch your step!! The good thing about this stage is there is another cache very close, which a lot of you haven't yet looked for. And the playground is pretty nice if you have kiddies with you.



Another stage takes you to a quiet area with a nice creek. The crappy part is the access!! Looks like you have to go up someone's driveway, but really you don't!! This dog area also has one of those apparently unused poop bag dispensers and a garbage can. The cache is hidden here in an area apparently used as a dump. So once again I stress - watch your step!!



At another stage, the cache is next to a lovely giant grassy field, suitable for ball or frisbee throwing, or maybe a game of tag? This is not an official "dog park", but just a field where there is always somebody playing with their dog or dogs. I think this is probably the least crappy of all the stages, but you do still need to watch your step! There is also another couple of caches very close by here, as well as another field on the other side of the creek, and another field on the other side of the road from there!



One of the stages is a few feet West of a fenced in dog run. Another smaller dog run has recently been added to this park for small doggies, as I have heard some pretty crappy stories about the big dogs attacking the little ones while playing in this park. SO those of you with little doggies, please be careful! This dog area is pretty crappy too, unless you are a dog and get to run around like crazy and play with other doggies and sniff everybody else's butts. There is no nice scenery here, and the landscape is ugly and crappy. And (surprise surprise), you will need to watch your step. There are a few caches close by here too. This place is usually pretty busy on the weekends and after work hours.
You don't need to go IN to the community garden to get at this stage, but if you have a minute, you should check it out, it's actually pretty peaceful. Dogs might not be appreciated in the garden area however, as they tend to "go" on everthing. Which would be pretty crappy for all those nice veggies growing there.



The final will bring you to a long boring crappy trail that is also a dedicated off leash area for dogs. It has another poop bag dispenser, and garbage cans. If you continue past the cache, there are several nicer wooded trails, with several caches along the way. Just make sure you watch your step! Or your walk will be crappier, and so will your drive home, unless you can find a nice deep puddle to swish your shoes in, or maybe some nice thick wet grass to smush your shoe around in....



Oh - one more crappy thing I almost forgot about - most of the areas didn't have the best GPSr reception near them, so I think the coordinates may be a bit crappy too. Detailed hints are below, so don't peek unless you HAVE to!!!



After all this crap, at least there is an okay FTF prize waiting!



HOPE
We just lost our 15 year old Border Collie cross who would not have thought this cache crappy, but in his younger days would have loved every stage of it. So this cache is dedicated to you Hope. We love you and miss you. See you one day over the Rainbow Bridge!
