Animal Crackers Challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

retiredprof: In light of geocaching's recent changes to the publishing rules, I am archiving all 150 of my challenge caches. I am a retired psychology professor, not a computer programmer. I am simply unable to comply with the new geochecker rules. I am sad that I have to do this. For those who have already begun any of my challenge caches, please note that you can still log archived caches. If you have any problems with this decision, please contact the geocaching authorities so that your suggestions may be considered.

Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden along the western side of the Feather River, two or three miles south of Yuba City. Park at the coordinates given below and walk about .15 miles along the levee. And be sure to note the important logging requirements below

**********LOGGING REQUIREMENTS**********

During my travels I have found many caches which include the name of a mammal. Here are 38 of these animals: antelope, badger, bear, beaver, buffalo, burro, camel, caribou, cat, chipmunk, cow, coyote, deer, dog, dolphin, elephant, elk, fox, goat, gopher, hog, horse, lion, llama, monkey, moose, pig, rabbit, rat, seal, sheep, squirrel, tiger, weasel, whale, wolf, wolverine, and zebra.

Your job is to find 25 caches, each with one of the above-listed animals in the cache name. You must gather 25 different animals--that is, you may have only one antelope, one dog, one cat, and so on. There is no time limit involved, you may already have found them. When logging this cache, list your requisite caches as shown below. And, feel free to mention in your log your favorite mammal from the list, or an interesting animal anecdote. For example, I was caching near Bucks Lake and came face to face with a bear on the trail. Wow, that sure got my adrenaline flowing!
