Retrieve It from a Cache 5/15/2003 Chris & Janet retrieved it from Circular Reasoning California   Visit Log

Circular Reasoning includes a puzzle, so I thought we'd have a good chance to get to the cache before the Hippo dissappeared. It took us two trips to find the Hippo, but now we have a travel bug. :-) We'll try to treat it right.

  • Entrance.jpg We took the Happy Hippo to the Oakland Zoo.
  • Elephant There were no hippos at the Oakland Zoo. We tried to convince the Happy Hippo that this was close
  • Petting Zoo Goat In the petting area, Happy Hippo got to mingle with the goats.

I sent Happy Hippo on a virtual trip to the National Zoological Park. He got to visit with a Giant Panda.

  • Happy Hippo and the panda I tried to keep HH behind the railing, but he insisted on hopping up on it. He came down before the zoo keeper spotted him!
