Lassie Go Get Help Mystery Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Cache Temporarily Disabled

Dear Fellow Geocachers,

As of May 1st, this cache has been temporarily disabled.

Sorry to inform all you eager seekers of hidden treasure that this geocache is being deactivated for the next year or so. The Forest Service is closing down the area for wildfire abatement and forest management—important work that helps protect this beautiful region for the long term.

Rest assured, the cache itself is safe and sound. This isn’t goodbye—it’s just a brief pause. Sometime in a year or so on a bright sunny day, when the threat of harm is gone and the area open to recreation the cache will return when the forest reopens to the public. Until then, thank you for your visits, your logs, and your spirit of adventure.

Stay safe, explore wisely, and keep the GPS warm.

Till we meet again,

Totes KraKra #2349 finds so far 🤠 on this awesome Thursday!

Geocache Description:


Important Notice:

I will be temporarily disabling this geocache due to Forest closures in the area, beginning May 1 2025, to support critical forest restoration efforts. The 34,600-acre closure will last at least one year. 

The closure will affect several major access points and recreation areas, including Horse Butte Trailhead, Coyote Butte OHV area, Bessie Butte Trailhead, Boyd Cave, and popular rock pits used for recreational shooting within the project area.

The closure will restrict all access, including day use and overnight camping, while crews operate heavy machinery, conduct prescribed burns, and clean up hazardous materials. The work, aims to reduce wildfire risk and restore damaged habitats in the wildland-urban interface near Bend.  
 

This is a themed puzzle cache - it contains all things related to "dogs."  Bring dog related swag to exchange.

We've been enjoying some of the local puzzle caches and decided to place one of our own in this "multi-use" area where many people come to walk their dogs, take a hike, ride their bike or like us take leisurely stroll through the Ponderosa on horseback.  There is a particularly interesting Ponderosa pine tree near ground zero.   There is a starbucks gift card for FTF but first you'll need to figure out what Lassie is trying to say.
