Welcome to the Team Trunk Monkey Turnpike - "TTMT"
This series of caches runs along this stretch of 4-lane road, which features a wide paved shoulder along it's entire course. These caches will all be on the South / East side of the road. There will be caches of several different sizes and types, and the hiding spots will vary in difficulty and terrain, as the locations allow. As such, several of these caches will have you walking through tall grass & looking through vegetation. During the "tick season" it is highly recommended to use a quality insect repellent, and as always if it is sunny out, use a good sunblock too.

Kipunji
Also known as the Highland Mangabey.

Rungwecebus kipunji (Ehardt, Butynski, Jones & Davenport, 2005)

The remarkable discovery of Tanzania’s kipunji in 2003 and 2004 - by two independent research teams - represented Africa’s first new monkey discovery in 20 years.

Scientists have assigned it to a new genus, Rungwecebus, named after Mount Rungwe, where lives in the highland forests of Tanzania.

Distribution: A Tanzanian endemic known only from two populations separated by ca. 350 km of non-forested land.

Status: Critically Endangered - IUCN Red List

Population: The kipunji is critically endangered, with a total population of only about 1,100 and a range smaller than 20 square miles.
