Zeke, Heal quickly! Sounds like they might need to close the trail until they get this under control.

Beware of free roaming pit bull mixed breeds on the Riverwoods Trail along the Missouri River Greenway WARNING! Beware of free roaming pit bull mixed breeds on the Riverwoods Trail along the Missouri River Greenway Hello fellow geocachers. On theRiverwoods Trail along the Missouri River Greenwaythat there are two pit bull mixed breed dogs that are DANGEROUS. I was attacked and bittenby them this afternoon. I was fortunate in that I had a hiking stick with me and was able to keep thempartially at bay fora steady800’retreat to my car.But if Ididn’thave the stick to distract them or had a longer walk back to the car, it could have much worse.As it was, the ER nurse had to get a second batch of needles to inject the Rabies vaccine around all of my wounds. I say this so that you will know how serious the danger is at this time. Animal Control will be driving the trail twice a day for the next 10 days in hopes of tranquilizing and capturing the two dogs. They may belong to one of the nearby businesses but they could also be strays.Until then I will be avoiding the geocaches in that area.I will post a note if I hear that the dogs have been captured. As a final piece of advice, the police officer suggested I carry cayenne pepperbased pepper spray which I will be picking up before my next outing. Regards, Zeke Leventhal-Arnold(caching name ZLA)
