Geocache Description:

The cache the final of a multi-cache based somewhere on Tiger Mountain. Four other caches on Tiger Mountain will need to be visited first. It might be possible to do all four on the same day and then find this cache, but it would be a long day.

Warning: The listed coordinates are for the Car Park at the Tiger Mountain Trailhead, not of the Cache.

When my brother-in-law and I wanted to go for a hike in the off-season with his dog, Mugsy, we'd head most often to Tiger Mountain. There are miles of trails on the mountain and with many seldom visited, we could allow Mugsy to roam off-leash. Unfortunately, Mugsy lost his battle and passed on. In his memory, we placed this series of caches on his favorite trails. The cache contains some of his old play toys and other things he enjoyed. Please feel free to trade dog toys or dog related items. (NO TREATS)

The coordinates are

N47° 3a.bcd W121° 5e.fgh
