estrek: Due to the recent signage, we regretfully need to archive our first hidden cache. Sadly, it was in memory of our beloved Rottweiler, Gus.
We reread all of your logs dating back to 8/23/2009. They were touching.
We were reminded that the FTF cacher walked his own Rottweiler, Roxy, along this trail daily! Wonderful.
Driving to our cache to verify it did need to be archived - a car passed in front of us on that cold day. A Rottweiler stuck his head out of the car side window!!! I got teared up thinking about Gus and how this was such an unexpected sendoff for “Gus’ Cache”.
We appreciate your respects, and relating to us about your beloved dogs that you have lost yet continue to love to this day. And to those of you who shared your joy of caching along with your dog.

Our thanks to all of you.
