Geocache Description:

This cache will send you on a fun filled adventure to a distant land where dinosaurs roam. Once arriving at the coordinates posted above you will be amazed to find several dinosaurs in the area. You will be going on a hunt (for the cache) and once there you will search for remains and evidence of these long lost creatures.
 

This cache was created to provide a family experience in a local park. The coordinates posted above will take you to the playground area of the Atlantic County Park in Estell Manor. Once on the playground you will locate several dinosaurs - there are two distinct types in the park, one has ridges on his back and the other has spots. Pick one of each type of dinosaur then count the number of ridges (on the one dinosaur) and the number of spots (on the other dinosaur). You will add these two numbers together and then subtract your total from the west coordinate. This will give you the new west coordinate for the location of the Dino Dig. The North coordinate will stay the same as the one posted above.
Example:
(# of ridges on one dinosaur)
+ (# of spots on one dinosaur) = X
(West Cordinate) - X = New West Coordinate to locate the Dino Dig

We placed an Adventure Cache in the area (the Walam Olum), but because it is not geared for children we thought it would be nice to place this adventure. This is a great park for families and we placed this cache to highlight the area. This is a themed cache - please bring dinosaur related items to trade.  The cache container is a camouflaged and approximately 19 inches long and 10 inches wide. Please re-hide the container in the same way you found it. ENJOY.
