Geocache Description:


(The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.)

Lassie!!!

What's that girl?  Timmy fell in the well (again)?  No?  Oh, Timmy dropped a cache in the well.  I see.  How clumsy is this kid, girl?

Lassie represents everything we love about dogs.  In fact, the dog that inspired Lassie was a crossbreed that saved the life of a soldier in WW1.

Answer the dog based questions below to find the coordinates of the "well" and follow Lassie there.

Once you have arrived, you will need to use the two provided pegs to raise the cache from the bottom of the "well" to the top.  

Please replace the cache and the pegs once you are done for the next person.  Bring a pen.

ALL trivia answers will come directly from the official AKC website, found at this link: AKC Official. If you prefer to manually reach their site, the address for you to copy is https://www.akc.org/.  To be clear, if another site has a different answer than the AKC website for any question it should be disregarded entirely & the answer on the AKC's site should be used.

The questions are straightforward and shouldn't take long at all.  Enjoy reading up on our beloved best friends- and I really think you will have fun at the physical cache when you make it there!  Thanks!
