Geocache Description:

This is an easy and fun puzzle cache. It is the third in a series that we will be placing around Pittsburgh that were inspired by the creative artwork from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History's DinoMite Days in 2006.


Modeled after Cow Parades in Chicago, the Pittsburgh exhibit featured 100 fiberglass dinosaurs. This project was sponsored by local businesses and organizations who had the opportunity to decorate their dinosaur. They were then placed around the city for all to see. Although many of these dinosaurs are no longer in the city, some still reside in the 'burgh. This series will show you where some are located. Hope you enjoy. Pictures are welcome but please do not post a photo that would give away too many of the puzzle answers. Thanks.

The above coordinates will take you to one of the dinosaurs. This one resides at the corner of Freeport Road and Center Avenue, in Aspinwall, not far from the Waterworks shops of O'Hara/Fox Chapel.

The cache container is a film container and is located in a spot easily walkable from the dino. There is limited "free" on street and plenty of metered street and parking lot spots nearby. You will not need to cross Freeport Road. Please bring your own pen! The cache is located at:


N40 29.ABC
