Geocache Description:

This is a cache designed to introduce children to puzzle caches. The cache is not located at the listed coordinates but those coordinates are a good place to park. Solve the puzzle below to obtain the final coordinates to the cache. It would be nice if the adult cachers could hold off initially on going for this cache to give a child an opportunity for a FTF.



Instructions

  1. Match each dog with its breed name.
  2. Place the number from the matched dog into the space in front of the breed name.
  3. After all the numbers are filled in, check your solution with GeoChecker.

In your online log, we would love to hear about which dog is your favorite.


The cache container is a medium size lock-n-lock with plenty of room for trade items. It is initially stocked with different types of dogs. There is a short bushwhack through high grass from the parking trail to the main trailhead and then a second short bushwhack through blueberry bushes to get to ground zero. The blueberries are ripe for the picking in mid-August. The trail makes a loop and is surrounded on the western edge by marshland.

The cache is located in the Sargent Wildlife Management Area. Richard Sargent donated land to the Fish and Game Department during the late 1960s and early 1970s, which led to the creation of this WMA. The WMA consists of four areas that together total approx. 356 acres. The habitats are mostly upland forest that includes white pine, red oak, red maple and scattered eastern hemlock. Portions of the WMAs include wetland habitats, often dominated by cattails. There is very little open water. Common Wildlife that can be seen are White-tailed deer, snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, otter, mink and muskrat.

Hunting is allowed in this WMA. For more information about specific hunting season dates, go to the NH Fish and Game website.
