Geocache Description:

This is a mystery cache. Not difficult. The posted coordinates will give you the parking area. From there you take a trail.

The posted coordinates are not the real coordinates for the cache. They are the parking coordinates. This is a mystery cache in honour of all the dogs who geocache with their owners. Special mention is our golden retriever, Angel, who passed away in 2012 at the age of 14 years old and happily accompanied us on many caching hikes. Now, our new golden retriever, Finnlegh (born in 2012), accompanies us on caching adventures.

To get to the cache, which is a painted ammo box, you will need to solve 2 puzzles. #1 will give you the North and West coordinates to the cache. #2 will give you the code to unlock the cache container. The code lines up with the word "MASTER". Scramble code to relock cache container when you rehide it and please hide container well.

#1 : Use the following list of dog breeds to figure out the North and West coordinates to the cache.

Golden Retriever

Shetland Sheepdog

Vizsla

English Setter

Rottweiler

Papillon

Border Collie

Shetland Sheepdog

Italian Greyhound

Poodle

#2 : To unlock cache: 4 letters and/or numbers (use capital letters) that are the mirror image of a common dog command. (COME, SIT, STAY, DOWN) Use one of these words.

This cache contains: a log book, pencil, "Geodog Hall of Fame" photo album; where you can add a photo of your geodog if you wish. Lots of awesome canine themed items to trade, for the geodog or his people.

Try to trade dog themed items if possible. Travel bugs and other trackables are welcome. It would be great to see pictures of geodogs in the cache logs as well as the photo album. Have fun!

Use the GeoCheck below (click on the icon) to check your coordinates. (This GeoCheck was added on August 17, 2014)
