Big Zoo ... Challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

retiredprof: In light of geocaching's recent changes to the publishing rules, I am archiving all 150 of my challenge caches. I am a retired psychology professor, not a computer programmer. I am simply unable to comply with the new geochecker rules. I am sad that I have to do this. For those who have already begun any of my challenge caches, please note that you can still log archived caches. If you have any problems with this decision, please contact the geocaching authorities so that your suggestions may be considered.

Geocache Description:

The cache is located along the east side of the Feather River. Park at the yellow gate (00.394/34.654) and hike south on the levee. After .15 miles veer west onto the river trail, and be sure to note the logging requirements below.

Recently I took Abbie to the zoo. She liked all the animals, but especially elephants, lions, tigers, and penguins. Your task is to find 25 caches...5 with the word "zoo," 5 with the word "elephant," 5 with the word "lion," 5 with the word "tiger," and 5 with the word "penguin." Plurals are ok, but no compound words, no locationless or lab caches, and only one cache from a series. Be sure to include five different cache types (icons) in/on your list. And I hope you have a pleasant visit to the zoo...
