This cache is located in Harmony Valley Park which has a large off leash area for dogs. The cache is NOT in the leash free area, but most people leave their dogs loose in the whole park.
IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF DOGS DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS CACHE!
The dogs were very restless, but I wanted to go and hide a cache so
I decided to combine them and hide a cache at the dog park. I
grabbed the lock and lock container and put the dogs into the
van. The whole way there they were super excited since they
love car rides too.
I had just found a good spot to hide the cache, averaged the coords
and was in the process of piling some extra branches around to help
hide it from muggles when they saw a ROTTEN SQUIRREL! Off they
ran, leashes trailing behind them. By the time I caught up
with them the squirrel was long gone. I had done everything I
needed with the cache so off we headed to the off leash area.
They had a good long run and then it was time to go home to
make the cache page. The only problem was that when I was
chasing the dogs something must have touched the screen and the
coordinates got changed.
Here is what I saw instead of the correct coordinates:
N 98 00.249
W 23 94.487
Luckily I was able to figure out the proper coordinates of the
cache within 10 minutes.
Hope you can too!
Rubber boots are recommended since this area is still wet and muddy
even several days after a rain. I find the signal isn't very
good in this area, but I did pile some extra branches against the
hiding spot.
