Babar's Hideaway Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

nessker: Sadly, longtrails and I are archiving this cache. The Oregon Zoo does not want to have geocaches in the zoo for the foreseeable future due to the pandemic. Thank you to all geocachers who have found our geocaches in the Oregon Zoo, and we hope to re-introduce zoo geocaches in the post-covid future.

Geocache Description:


The combination to the lock is 21-39-9
Please relock the cache before you leave
Please don't put trackables in the zoo caches
Welcome to the elephants! This is one of my favorite places to visit in the zoo and has been one of its most distinguishing characteristics since September 13, 1953 when the zoo received its first Asian elephant, Rosy. On April 14, 1962, Packy was born. He was the first elephant born in this country in 44 years and attendance for this event exceeded one million!
We are excited about the fantastic renovation of the elephant habitat including this secluded viewing area. We previously had a cache near the elephant enclosure, but we needed to take it down when construction started for their new home. Now that construction in this area is complete, the horticulture team agrees this is a fine location for geocachers and elephants to visit each other.
This cache can only be accessed when the Oregon Zoo is open. You are looking for a very easy to find locked 50 caliber ammo can.
To open lock: 1) turn right 3 times and stop at the 1st number; 2) turn left one full turn passing the 1st number to stop at 2nd number; 3) turn right and stop at the thrid number. All caches are family friendly and should contain family friendly swag.

  • Cache owners appreciate when finders provide logs about their adventures (or misadventures). Nothing more than TFTC makes us frown.
  • Please log DNFs and information about the cache's condition. It helps owners decide when to check on their cache.
