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. Each Geocache celebrates a dinosaur
featured in the Dinosaur Train Field
Guide on
the PBS Kids
Website. This
Geocache is the Pteranodon Geocache.
The Pteranodon was from
the Late Cretaceous Period of North America.
Though not actually a dinosaur, The Pteranodon was a reptile and
generally associated with Dinosaurs. With a wing
span the length of a school bus, this Pterosaur was the largest of
its family. Scientists believe this flying
reptile glided over the water like a modern day pelican and scooped
up a mouth full of fish.
On Dinosaur Train, the
Pteranodon’s took a train ride to meet the Triceratops Family
and learned that they were Herbivores, or plant eating
Dinosaurs. The Kids discovered that they were
carnivores because they ate fish and fish was
meat. Shiny then sings, “If I could wish
for just one dish, my greatest wish, would be more,
Fish!”
The Cache is located in
beautiful Guilford Township along the Falling Spring Branch which
is a fertile limestone spring. Wild Rainbow and
Wild Brown Trout can be caught here as well as stocked Hatchery
Trout. This location is a favorite spot where
muggles “fly” like Pteranodons and catch
fish. So watch your ears and hold on tight to
your hat. Be courteous to possible muggles and
please keep the place as clean as you found it.
As always, remember to CITO.
This Cache container is
for collecting Dinosaur facts, pictures, figures, stickers, etc and
will be used as an educational Cache. It’s
an easy grab and is great for the Geo Kids that tag
along. Parking is so close to ground
zero. No need to mark
coordinates.
