Geocache Description:

You are seeking a small lock-n-lock type container hidden in the oak hammock off the Lake (red) Trail in the Lake Runnymede Conservation Area.  Grab a poop bag from the dispenser near the trailhead (just in case!) and bring your geodog (on a leash!) along to experience some of the beautiful nature to be seen.  Who knows? Your geo-pup might reward you by finding the cache for you!  For extra credit, post a picture of your geo-dog! Park open dawn-to-dusk.


My wife and I were looking at the Osceola County Animal Services Facebook page when we saw Madison.  She is a Pyrenese / Pointer mix who had been adopted and returned to the shelter SIX times in her short 19 month puppy life.  She was too "clingy" they said.  It turns out that Madison is DEAF and didn't know what her human wanted her to do.  OCAS put Madison into their T.R.E.A.T.S. training program to teach her (and us!) how to communicate with each other.  We knew immediately that she was meant to live with us and so we became her forever home!  Now, of course, the first thing a geocacher with a new geodog wants is to share their love of geocaching with their new best friend.  We were saddened to find how few parks permit geodogs.  The Lake Runnymede Conservation Area is one of the parks that is Fido-friendly, so we thought we'd place some caches here for geodogs and their human geocachers!
