Geocache Description:

This cache is spawned from another cache, "X - The Virus" (GC1B4J1). The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates! You have to do a little research to get to the right place.




Come visit beautiful Shadow Bay Park for a game of tennis, some basketball, fishing, or, our favorite activity, a walk along the trails with the pooches! This cache is named in honor of our Jack Russell Geo-Terriers, Puck and Louie. The coordinates above will take you to a spot that you and your own geo-pooch can get a drink on a hot day, but to get to the cache, you're going to have to learn a bit about Jack Russells first!

NO BUSHWHACKING is required to get to this cache! Please follow the trails and clean-up after your geo-pups if they leave any "presents" behind!

You'll be looking for a small, clear lock & lock type container. Please replace and rehide as found or better and make sure the lid is on tight!

The original contents are a logbook, pencils, a TB, and some small trade items. FTF prize is an unactivated TB dog tag. Shadow Bay Park is open every day from 8 a.m to 8 p.m. in the Summer and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Winter.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.



Congratulations to sparrows_gold and Chief 25, FTF!!!




Cache replaced on 1/29/10 with a slightly smaller container. Still room for TBs and coins, but please bring your own pencil/pen!!!

*****Please approach the cache from the TRAIL side of the area, not from the pond. Thank you*****
