Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are BOGUS!  You must, instead, solve the following puzzle.


Rules for this puzzle: No intentional red herrings, no oddball (fishiness) methods of presenting coordinates (UTM, for example, or also having coordinates read backwards), and no leaving off the N32 and W97 just to make it more difficult. There may be more than one layer on this puzzle. Collaboration is allowed and you may ask me for hints after there has been a FTF.

Now for the puzzle...


DaxVolks are a great couple! They are one of the few families of Geocachers that I know from both before and after my break. They are also some of the friendliest people I know. The DaxVolks are definitely Zwischenspeicher Volks too, because during my break they kept on truckin' as they are now at 10K finds! 10K!

10,000 is a difficult number to fathom. It is the number of miles if you were to walk/swim to Bora Bora and back (round trip). It is the approximate square mile size of Sicily (what Italy's boot is kicking). It is the number of ants in a larger size Texas Fire Ant mound (don't step in that one). It's more caches than the entire countries of Ireland and Poland... combined. It's a LOT of caches! Here's to 10K more!

Fortunately, I won't be using any big numbers in this puzzle. Instead, I'm going to use dogs - and lots of them. If you get stuck, just go outside and throw around a tennis ball... or something else doggies might like to play with.

Ruff Ruff.
