This is a dog themed 7 stage multi-cache set in Prairie Moraine Park (AKA Large Verona Dog Park). Along the way, you'll be tested on your knowledge of dogs and dog breeds, and maybe learn a few interesting facts.

Parking for this cache can be found at N42 57.706 and W089 30.807.

This Multi cache starts in the off-leash portion of the park with rolling hills and well-maintained trails, then proceeds to the wilder, on-leash section. If you are averagely knowledgeable about dogs, and/or lucky, you should be able to complete this hike in about 2 hours. Though multiple trips may be required. At each waypoint you will find a set of cards with questions, answers to the last waypoint's questions, and the next set of questions, and maybe pictures to identify. When asked to identify a breed, the number of letters in the name of the breed of the dog is the answer to the letter indicated on the card (subtract 10 if 10 or greater). Don't know your breeds? Bring a breed identification guide or decode the hint to get a list of possibilities. Answers will give you the next waypoing coordinates in the form of: N42 57.ABC and W 089 30.DEF.

As in all Dane County Parks, there are a few rules.
1) Each dog must have a permit, available at the self-registration kiosk just inside the entrance to the park. A daily pass for an individual dog is $3.00. ($20 annual – multi dog discount available) valid at all Dane County Parks
2) PICK UP YOUR DOG'S POOP. Pick up bags are available near the entrance. Waste containers are near the entrance and various locations along the main trail.
3) Please bring dogs that are well socialized and not in season.
4) No fence-hopping.
5) In the on-leash portion to the park dogs MUST be on leash. I suggest a short leash as you will enter the woods.

There is NO water or restrooms available. Please bring water for you and your dog.

None of the waypoint locations is very difficult to find although more challenging with an inch or two of snow on the ground, or heavy brush growth. This is the biggest and busiest dog park in the county, watch out of muggles. All but the last containers are simply ziplock bags with laminated cards inside. The final is a 7.62MM Ammo box. Please bring something dog-related to exchange (no treats). Trails will take you almost all the way to each waypoint, though they might not be the most direct route. Between WP5 and WP6 there is a sensitive area that a trail used to go through, but following the main trail (even though it seems to go away from and past it) will get you there.

This cache has been authorized by Dick Black of the Dane County Parks Commission and the proper permit issued on 4/11/05. Permit has been renewed for 2006.

If you search with a geo-dog, please include his or her name and breed in both the cache and on-line logs, pictures are always welcome.

May you and your canine have at Doggone Good Fun in Verona!
