Geocache Description:


In honor of Mike (Choppnhappydog)

I have hid this cache to honor a friend and fellow cacher who has passed on. Most people will remember Mike for his many (40+) Thanks for your service caches. Mike always honored veterans.

Many of Mike's friends referred to him as the Old Dog. He hid many caches and loved the game of geocaching. I had the pleasure of meeting Mike and talking with him several times.

I spoke with Denise and she gave me permission to hide a cache for Mike. She has moved back to her home state of Nevada and is still actively caching under the Choppnhappydog name. In addition to honoring Mike, I am wishing Denise the best in her future.

So Mike thank you for your service. To your family , to your country (Mike was a Vietnam veteran), to other veterans, to your friends and to the geocaching game. You are truly missed by many people.

This cache is hidden in the Shady Grove Cemetery. It is not on any graves or markers. But the hiding place is going to be near two Vietnam Veteran graves.

You will be looking for a baby soda bottle and should be an easy find.

Please place the cache back in its hiding place so that it will stay put.

This is not a good place for night caching. The main gate is locked due to some road work and the side gate is real near some houses so it would be best to do this one during daylight hours.

CONGRATULATIONS TO BLAKRAZR FOR FTF
