Update as of 1/1/23. Container relocated to new spot. Puzzle updated to "solve" to the new coordinates.
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 the sidewalk from which you can view one of the dinosaurs. As this one resides on private property, please do not get any closer to the dino and do not hunt this dino in the dark. You will be able to easily answer all the questions from the viewing spot.
The cache container is a small container located in a spot easily walkable from the dino. Street parking is available. Please bring your own pen! The cache is located at:
N40 27.ABC
W079 56.DEF
