Hadrosaurus is a genus of large ornithopod dinosaur that lived in what is now North America during the Late Cretaceous period, around 80 million years ago. Hadrosaurus was a relatively large dinosaur, measuring up to 9 m (30 ft) in length and weighing around 3,600 kg (8,000 lbs). It had a distinctive, duck-billed snout with rows of teeth that were used to grind tough plant material, making it one of the most well-known and successful groups of herbivorous dinosaurs. Hadrosaurus also had powerful hind legs and a long, muscular tail that likely allowed it to move quickly and efficiently on land. It likely lived in large herds, feeding on low-lying vegetation and avoiding predators, such as tyrannosaurs and other carnivorous dinosaurs that also lived in the area.
It was one of the first dinosaur species to be discovered and named in North America, and it played an important role in the early study of dinosaur paleontology. The first remains of Hadrosaurus were discovered in 1858 in Haddonfield, New Jersey, by amateur paleontologist William Parker Foulke. This was the first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton found in North America and was instrumental in proving the existence of dinosaurs, which were then a highly debated topic in the scientific community.

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
305612
015961
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.
