I would love it if anyone could share some hints with me on this one. Searched for WP 1 for an hour and just ended up angry with myself.
Would also enjoy it if someone wants to team up on this one and try to find it together — or even multiple someones!
This one looks tricky!

Have you ever done Dog Walk 1 or 2?06/07/2004 at 1:16 am #1739842I found the first waypoint, but gave up at the second. Something about the -20 windchill raised the difficulty even higher.
I’m also due to get back in that area.
The 19th is the Mother of all Breakfasts.
After the 26-27th, I’ll be heading north for awhile.Hey WIZBIT;; Isn’t Janesville overdue for an event cache?

06/07/2004 at 5:49 pm #1739843yes, I have done both dog walks — is WP 1 similar to those?
Oh — an event in Janesville would be great!! There are so many nice parks there!
Russ, if I’m not working on the 19th and you want some company on this cache, I would love to join you on this one. I love learning from the experts!!

The Mother of all Breakfasts is in Kenosha on the 19th, so that day is pretty much tied up. How about the 20th?
EXPERT? LOL. Wizbit’s caches tend to make me feel like a newbie.
06/08/2004 at 5:12 pm #1739845I can give you a positive maybe on the 20th (again, as long as work doesn’t get in the way)
I’m pretty sure I will be at the event on the 19th, so I will be able to confirm then!
Thanks!!
Bec06/10/2004 at 11:47 pm #1739846I think I can explain why you had trouble with this one –
The first waypoint container is missing. Someone must have found it and taken it elsewhere.
The third waypoint was water damaged and needed replaced.
The final cache was stolen.Hmmm looks like this one is going to be archived.
The good news is, while checking the cache out I planned its replacement:
Master Detective
Unlike my other multi’s I plan on making this one really hard. Stayed tuned as I should have it in within a week or two. Some preparation goes into this one.
Sorry you missed this one Bec but geomuggles are so hard to predict in city parks.
06/10/2004 at 11:58 pm #1739847Sorry to hear that wzbt03,
With that knowledge, could you tell be how the second waypoint was hidden? I looked until I could no longer feel my limbs.
Been bugging me for weeks and weeks now.

WP #1 – plaster poured over a upside down film cannister and painted non-reflective Brown to imitate a dog dropping.WP# 2 – plaster poured over a upside down film cannister and scuffed dirt plaster to imitate rock pile it was hidden in by the river. It broke as I placed it and to cover up the film cannister I highlighted it with non-reflective brown. When placed it was visible by looking down into the rocks – how it was when you looked for it Cathunter is impossible to say since people tend to hide things better once they find them.
WP#3 was a 18 branch that was 2in in diameter with the end cut off and hollowed out to hold coordinates. Very very hard to tell but limited possibilities in the area.
Final – under bridge near parking lot (most of my multis are circular in nature – Thorson rule #1)
I put in this cache for the event in Janesville to honor the 600th cache of T&B.
06/15/2004 at 12:56 am #1739849Oh, that’s just sad! At least I can hope that I was looking in the right place where WP 1 once was….
I guess I’ll just wait for you new (and harder???? YIKES!) cache!
Thanks for the update.
