Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle using the provided photos in order to determine the cache coordinates.

It may be rainy season in California and there's supposedly a flood warning today, but I still don't think there's going to be enough water to take two of every animal on your ark; so you'll have to find some other way to pair them up.

Special Notes about the 2019 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, assuming one happens sometime in 2020). The real challenge is to see whether I will have enough time to create a puzzle each month this year! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special Notes about this month's puzzle: Because these are cartoon versions, there is probably some ambiguity in identifying them, but hopefully the puzzle doesn't somehow have more than one valid answer. We're hoping to plan a 2018 Celebration Party for March 17th.



You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
