Each waypoint will bring you to an area where you will have to
gather info from signage or other items to find your way to the
next way point. The final is an altoids tin hidden in Balboa Park
outside the zoo, so save the final stage until you have thoroughly
enjoyed you visit to the zoo.
The layout of the zoo can be a bit confusing, even with a map.
It should go without saying- NO BUSHWACKING! Stay on the paths,
enjoy the animals, and you’ll find the waypoint. The lush
plantings of the zoo can cause GPS interference at times, but all
the waypoints have reasonably good reception. The terrain rating is
for length of the walk. The paths are all paved and there are
plenty of resting spots.
