Rectangular Lock and Lock container painted brown. Neat location
visible from the main path.
After spending 3 days in the area along Diagon Alley at the Leaky
Cauldron we had our fill of Butterbeer. On our way out of the Leaky
Cauldron we spotted an archeological wonder... or was it just the
Butterbeer? We're not sure, so maybe someone with more lucid
perception can confirm our find. We need verification from true
scientists for this one... or at least those that have done their
homework before going into the field. We think we found an
authentic Mammoth tusk! Yes indeed! You must answer these skill
testing questions on scientific classification before going into
the field so we know we can trust your verification. Complete the
scientific classification below for the Mammoth and then count the
number of letters in each answer.

No archeological digging required. The evidence(tusk) is exposed
and the cache is hidden but not buried. This unusual feature can be
easily seen from the trail as it of mammoth proportions, but is not
within reach of the trail so you will have to go right UP to it for
closer inspection of the surrounding area for verification. Once
there you will have to peek around a bit to do your investigating
before logging your findings in the cache log book. FTF gets a
coffee and donut at Timmy's. Also starting the miniest Seeker's
Geocoin here. This cache is one of many along this stretch of the
PoCo trail which is a pleasant walk along the Coquitlam River that
is very popular with joggers and dog walkers.
