Parasaurolophus is a genus of hadrosaurid "duck-billed" dinosaur that lived in what is now western North America and possibly Asia during the Late Cretaceous period, about 76.9-73.5 million years ago. It was a large herbivore that could reach over 9m (30 ft) long, weigh over 5 metric tons (11,000 lbs), and was able to move as a biped and a quadruped.
Parasaurolophus was part of a diverse family of large Late Cretaceous ornithopods that are known for their bizarre head ornamentation, which was likely used for communication, increased hearing, and perhaps display purposes. This genus is known for its large, elaborate cranial crest, which forms a long curved tube projecting upwards and back from the skull.

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:
638355
336417
195361
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.
