The Atomic Penguin Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Penguin Tracker: Some times even good things must come to an end. It is hard to believe it has only been 3 years and 8 months, since the Atomic Penguin was first placed. You should know over that time I have enjoyed reading every single log and greatly appreciated every favorite point, it had been given. It was because of reading how much everyone enjoyed the geocache, I would ensure there was plenty of swag in it for the next person. Sometimes I even convinced the other penguins to help me with that.

I am truly honored that out of 33,323 geocaches in Oregon, all of you helped make it the 9th most favorited (at the time of this posting) and some have used it specifically as their milestone.

To all this I say, THANK YOU!

Due to the ongoing vandalism, it has changed the original look of the once cool container. Sadly we must place this once fun geocache to rest, as the car goes on its last and final ride.

Happy Caching!

Geocache Description:

While waiting for Mama Penguin's penguin mobile to get serviced, I seen a great spot for a geocache! The owner was more than happy to take our geocache, for a ride. If you are spotted, do as Skipper from the Penguins of Madagascar says, "Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave."

Please use street parking and be respectful of the property. NO bushwhacking and GEOCACHE ONLY DAWN TO DUSK! Portland police have been previously authorized by owner to arrest anyone in the parking lot at night.

NO NIGHT TIME GEOCACHING ON THIS ONE, PLEASE!!

Like Skipper from the Penguins of Madagascar always says, "It aint over until it's over boys!!" The new property owners will allow this geocache to stay. Any issues with the geocache or cache site, please contact me.

The property owner is ready to take our geocache for a ride....so where would he have room for such a huge geocache?.... The cache is in the trunk of an unusually open location. The cache is kept locked, in hopes that it will be used as a travel bug stop. PLEASE LOG ALL TRAVEL BUGS ASAP OR DO NOT TAKE THEM.

There is a trunk lever in the middle to squeeze and open the trunk. To open the lock on the cache, just turn the dials, lining up the combination L-O-C-K with the red line on the front of it. To CLOSE the lock, the L-O-C-K combination must be used / aligned correctly close lock tightly, THEN scramble the combination. Be sure to pull on it, to make sure lock is closed.... then shut the trunk.

We think we have now made this one wheelchair accessible, so everyone can enjoy the ride! Please contact me if you feel it is not.

Geo Kids new to Geocaching...Please trade, but do not feel you have to trade even or better at this cache. Just enjoy your experience and tell me about your geocaching adventure in your log. Happy Caching!!
