"Go outside, get into nature and make your own discoveries!"
That is what Dr. Scott challenges his viewers to do at the end of each Dinosaur Train episode. In support of this call to action, The Jim Henson Company has hidden Dinosaur Train themed geocaches nationwide with the help of local PBS stations and geocachers. To find the location of other Dinosaur Train themed geocaches, simply search for "Dinosaur Train" in the keyword search option or check out this list of Dinosaur Train Geocaches.
Each geocache celebrates a dinosaur featured in the Dinosaur Train Field Guide on the PBS Kids website. This geocache is the Tyrannosaurus geocache. Tyrannosaurus was a carnivore from the Cretaceous. It ate large dinosaurs, like Triceratops. Some scientists think Tyrannosaurus could eat more than 200 pounds of meat in one bite! That’s bigger than a goat!
What is your favorite dinosaur? Be sure to tell us when signing the logbook!
The cache is located in the Wa'ahila Ridge State Recreation Area which is open daily from 7:00am to 7:45pm. Please limit your searches to those hours. Like most places on this island there will be mosquitoes, so come prepared.
Don't forget to write down the "Special Number" in the cache that will help you find the Dinosaur Train Geocache: Paleontologist.
