A puzzle cache about DINOSAURS. Kids friendly and fun.
Cache is not located at coordinates above, but is fairly close by. This is a great starting point to figure out final cache location.
Once found, remove by the cache body, NOT by the end. This is a log only. Bring your own writing/stamping item. Small TOTT required. Please place exactly as found.
This area is known as Foxridge. Today we are going back millions of years to when dinosaurs roamed. There are nine known dinosaurs that have been found in Colorado; Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, Haplocanthosaurus, Dryosaurus and Ornithomimus. Here are some fun facts about these dinosaurs to help you find the cache.
Solving the puzzle should be fairly easy with some paleontology skills. Multiple choice format.
