Geocache Description:

Dino Camp~ Twin Lakes #TW613

A fun story cache for Kids of All Ages!

This is the site of our 1974 main base camp. It was our largest 1974 Dino Dig. The camp consisted of 18 crew members. The most important member was the camp cook. We were a lucky team. We had the best cook of all the Dino Camps! The wild turkey burgers were top notch! ( We had a special DNR permit to hunt anything we wanted year round.)

Our camp cook (One leg Mike) made the best Dutch Oven rolls and bread, this side of the Ohio River! The bugs and work were hard. The pay was very, very, low. Think of an early version of the unpaid internship!!

Many years ago while studying Dinosaur Linguistics (Dino Speak), and Dinosaur Logistics (The movement of Dino herds.) I was able to participate on several Michigan Dinosaur Digs, before I dropped out from Dino University....... This site was one of our larger and longer digs. We camped at this site for 38 weeks! It was a long and hard time. From the cache location you can see our dig down the hill and into the now "Wetlands".

The cache is at the north edge of site #TW-613. If you find the cache , you are standing 200 feet from the edge of our dig pit. This area was within a large 200 square mile marsh, 67,000,000 years ago. We dug this area and created this new wetland/marsh from our pit diggings. I have placed some of my dinosaur bones near the cache from my dino bone collection. Kids can take a bone home with them if they would like to do so. The cache is a plastic lock n lock, filled with good stuff. Many bones are from a Macrophalansia. ( In my opinion.)

DINOSAUR FACTS:

Macrophalansia-
Meet Eaters, Fast! They could hit 40 KM / Hr in speed! Great sense of smell. They could smell prey from 3 KM away! They had infrared sense and hunted during the day and night! Hunted in packs from 10 to 20 units. 1200 to 2270 lbs. each in weight. Always Hungry!

Majungatholus- Plant Eaters, 7' Tall, 9'8" Long, 375 Lbs. Slow, A herd of over 6 was rare. Liked water areas. A dangerous area to be around. Moving top speed~ 12 MPH. , Likes Salads. (Hard on trees in their area.) I might not like this type of dinosaur!

Don't worry moms, these bones have no germs. They are over 67,000,000 years old from the late Cretaceous Period.
