"Land of the Lost-West Coast" Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Pilot searcher: Sadly "Progress" has destroyed another "Oldy Moldy ( It's been there 13 years!)." I checked on this one today and buildings have been recently built on top of three of the stages. Another was missing. I found only one stage and the final. The final had a clean new log in it. I am not sure who actually found this or just claimed a find. You know if you cheated. Anyway, I am putting this one to rest. There is too much development going on in the area, so I don't know what the future holds. Maybe I'll create another short Dinosaur multi someplace else. Photos are of the new construction and the two stages that I could find. RIP "Land of the Lost Dinosaurs,"

Geocache Description:

A search for "Lost Dinosaurs."



The idea for this multi-cache was inspired by the "Land of the Lost" series (GC1Y3GV) in Jonathan Dickinson State Park during Cacheapalooza 4 last year. The coordinates are not where the final cache is located, but will take you to the Trailhead Neighborhood Park off Veronica Shoemaker Blvd. Get the street number for the park from the sign at the entrance. The coordinates for the first stage are: N 26 36.6AB W 081 50.6CD (A= 1st# of address -3, B= 2nd# of address -5, C= 3rd# of address -7, D= 4th# of address +7) Each stage will have the coordinates for the next stage. The final stage is #5. To get to the first stage, go to the shell path in the back south west corner of the park and go down it to the sidewalk. Turn right and follow the sidewalk to a trail on your right that leads to the stage. The walking is easy, but the stages are not on the paths. They are not more than 30 feet off them however. Enjoy the walk. There may be signs of "Homeless Occupation", but no one is living there now. All stages should be able to be found in less than an hour.

CONGRATULATIONS to Blue Diamonds and joshandmarce for the co-FTF!!!
