Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Milestone note: this cache is my 150th hide of the unknown type, and I'm dedicating it to my favorite caching partner, my daughter mopsy critter.

Sadly, the area where the final of "Gold Log Palindrome Challenge" is placed is under construction (as of this hiding). I will re-enable as soon as possible. In the meantime, geocachers with a jones to add a palindrome find to their accounts can tackle this one!

Solve this puzzle about this most amazing creature, the baby (!), and some famous ones. The cache can be found at N 38° AB.CDE, W 121° FG.HIJ.
