Sauroposeidon was one of the tallest dinosaurs ever discovered, with a neck that could reach up to 56 feet high. Found in Oklahoma, USA, its fossils suggest it was around 112 feet long and weighed over 60 tons. This dinosaur lived during the Early Cretaceous period and fed on treetops that were inaccessible to most other herbivores. Its name, meaning “earthquake god lizard,” is fitting given the massive impact it likely had on its environment. Sauroposeidon had elongated cervical vertebrae, which helped support its incredibly long neck. The discovery of its vertebrae in 1994 led to a reevaluation of sauropod gigantism. Its height gave it a distinct advantage in accessing food in forested areas.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but you may begin your search from any point in the world!
This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box" which tells you the distance to the cache, but not the bearing. You may begin your search from any spot in the world using your Smartphone or Whereigo compatible GPS to navigate to the cache.
A tutorial on Reverse Wherigo caches can be found here: Reverse Wherigo Tutorial.
This cartridge is available to download from the wherigo.com website.
Your task is to find the cache by periodically querying your Reverse Cache Box for the distance to the final location. Try to use your Reverse Cache Box as few times as possible. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge is contained within it. The cartridge is multilingual.
To begin, you will have to type this code into your player:
613358
288356
192135
It is suggested that you take the code with you on your journey. It will be needed if it becomes necessary to restart your player for any reason.
When you have reached the final, you will be given some statistics on your quest. If you wish, you may enter the details into your log, and also post the number of times you calculated the distance.
At the end of the game, you will be given a personal pass-code which you can enter into the cartridge if you select "create" rather than "play" when you start the cartridge. Save this code, and if you ever wish to create your own reverse cache, you can do so.
