Geocache Description:



Life is great ... pets make it better!


The American Animal Hospital Association is an international association of veterinary-care providers who treat companion animals. This cache was placed to celebrate what they do and what they represent!

In order to find this cache, you will need to arrive at the posted coordinates (which are for parking) during daylight hours:

This cache must not be accessed at night. Abuse of this will result in the cache being pulled by the owners.

In addition, you must park at the posted coordinates, not on the side of Route 60!


The cache is located on the grounds of the Fredonia Animal Hospital with the permission of the owners. To determine the final coordinates, you will need to visit AAHA's Web site at www.healthypet.com.

Use the Web site to answer the following questions to determine the cache coordinates:

42 26.ABB
079 18.CDC

A: third digit in the ZIP code of AAHA's address 2

B: fourth digit in AAHA's street address 7
C: third number in year AAHA was founded 3
D: number of approximate thousands of veterinary hospitals that voluntarily participate in the AAHA hospital evaluation program PLUS FIVE =8

Employees are all aware of geocaching, but please use stealth if clients are around. Inside the cache, you will find AAHA- and pet-related products. Good luck and happy caching!
