DOGGONNIT! (ATTN: CORKEY) Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

goobers5: Took a run by, couldn't find point 1 and it appears that the tree stump that housed the final point has disappear/washed away. For all those who were not able to locate, point one was a fake poo pile with the coordinantes written on the bottom. point 2 was a bison tube in the corner of the fence, point 3 was a magnetic key holder under the bridge and point 4 was in a tree stump at the top edge of the creek uh...ditch? The tree stump was closer to the entrance to the ball park than to road from the dog park!
Thanks to all who have found, attempted or had this one on their to do list. Unfortunately, full time school (this semester), work and a side business isn't allowing me much time to go play/geocache. By this time next year, I'll have two pieces of paper that say I'm doubly smart. I'm hoping that means my cache hiding abilities will also increase :)... there is no hope for my finding abilities :).

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Cache is hidden at Hasselroth Dog Park in Rock Island (yes, this is actually R.I. and not Milan)! Some slopes, pathes, paved parking...you'll visit it all, but it is easily navigated.

This is a multi-cache that is dog theme related, so please only trade dog (or other pet related items, can't leave out the other loving pets!!) items. Do not place the following itesm in cache: food, alcohol, firearms, drugs, dangerous items or adult-only items.

Final is a very large ammo can (who knew they came this large!), please take care in replacing as it can be seen if not put back carefully.

Original contents include: automatic leashes, tennis balls, squeky toys, raw hide treats, tug toy, dog brush, catnip toys and jingle balls. Also, if you bring your dog along, please feel free to utilize one of the Bow Wow Doggie Bags to pick up any messes your little friend may try to leave.

**Dog park area may be closed on occasion for maintenance (seeding). However, this will not affect the cache. You will still be able to access parking and all locations needed.

**Dog park is a short distance from I-280 and a great location to let your four legged travelers stretch their legs, too.

**There is still PLENTY of room in this cache for larger doggie toys!

**Some parts may be hard to find (unless you have Corky along), but this cache will be VERRRRRRRRRYYYY hard to access when muggles are around... and that is often! Softball season, may also prove to be more of a challenge.

**Lastly, I did averages on each spot with my trustly ETREX (I say trusty, because the darn thing has never gotten better than 15 feet accuracy). Please, feel free to email me if you get better readings and I will update (i.e. don't post)! Comments appreciated as this is my first cache I have placed!

If bringing your family dog(s), please abide by all posted rules of the park. Rules and additional notes below:

1. Use park at your own risk.
2. Do not leave dog(s) unattended in or out of the fenced area.
3. Dogs must have current license and vaccinations.
4. PLEASE, clean up after your dog!
5. No unruly dogs allowed.
6. Female dogs in heat not allowed.
7. Dogs must be on a leash at all times when outside fence.
8. No digging by dogs or people allowed.
