Rin Tin Tin Traditional Geocache

This small, lock-and-lock container is placed on a gravel road near a creek running through farmland.  This cache was placed as part of the BINGO (Team WHO) event on July 30, 2016.

Rin Tin Tin (often hyphenated as Rin-Tin-Tin, September 1918 – August 10, 1932) was a male German Shepherd that was an international star in motion pictures. He was rescued from a World War I battlefield by an American soldier, Lee Duncan, who nicknamed him "Rinty". Duncan trained Rin Tin Tin and obtained silent film work for the dog. Rin Tin Tin was an immediate box-office success and went on to appear in 27 Hollywood films, gaining worldwide fame. Along with the earlier canine film star Strongheart, Rin Tin Tin was responsible for greatly increasing the popularity of German Shepherd dogs as family pets. The immense profitability of his films contributed to the success of Warner Bros. studios, and helped advance the career of Darryl F. Zanuck.
