| 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
