Geocache Description:


This puzzle cache is hidden in tribute of a great friend, Kevin, a.k.a. Shoob&Sheeb, in recognition of his 2000th find.


Sheeb

Slater
As his geo-name implies, Shoob&Sheeb has no more loyal friends than “man’s best friends,” Sheeb and Slater (and the late Shoob). The elder, Sheeb, is the reliable, well-behaved one who nevertheless finds her way into any stream, puddle, or mudhole around. Slater, on the other hand, is the younger, more energetic of the pair, an endless fountain of fun-loving enthusiasm that leads to throwing caution to the wind.

For some time, we’ve talked about Shoob&Sheeb training his dogs to help him find caches. Well, here’s one puzzle cache that Slater and Sheeb can find – and you can too if only you can understand their “dog-speak.”

Kevin pulls over and the doggies instinctively sit up and stare at the doors, waiting for them to open so they can bound out of the vehicle and on to retrieve the cache. But the doors don’t open; instead, the doggies’ master asks, “O.K., puppies, where’s the cache?” Sheeb and Slater instantly break into a conversation that only a Retriever of the Golden variety can appreciate:

: “Woof, bark, woof, woof! Woof, woof, woof, bark!”

: “Woof, woof, bark, woof! Woof, woof, woof, bark!”

: “Woof, woof, woof, woof! Woof, bark, bark, woof! Woof, woof, woof, woof!”

: “Woof, woof, woof, woof! Woof, bark, bark, bark! Woof, bark, woof, woof!”

: “Woof, bark, woof, woof! Woof, woof, bark, bark!”

: “Woof, woof, bark, bark! Bark, woof, woof, bark! Bark, woof, woof, woof!”

With that, the doggies grab the GPSr and head off to grab the cache. Oh that the next 2000 finds can go that easily!

Congratulations, Kevin, on an amazing accomplishment!
