The posted coordinates are for the South parking area. Answer the following questions to determine the actual coordinnates of this well-stocked Dino-filled ammocan.
1. "Walking with Dinosaurs" is a BBC produced nature documentary and miniseries released in 1999. This remarkable program brings prehistoric creatures to life in the style of a traditional nature documentary, combining CGI, animatronics, and live-action footage, with location filming around the world. This series is so great, we've watched it dozens of times with our kids, and have now used its name for our geocaching power trail!
How many parts was the (original) series? Subtract 1 and you have A.
2. Godzilla is a dinosaur-like sea creature shaken from slumber and empowered by nuclear radiation. Premiering in a Japanese sci-fi film in 1954, Godzilla went on to become an international popular culture phenomenon, and the star of an epic film franchise that endures to this day. Interestingly, some critics see Godzilla, released less than a decade after the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as a metaphor for the American military--a "sleeping giant" roused to fury, which would bring ruin and suffering upon Japan.
"I can't believe that Godzilla was the last of his species. If nuclear testing continues, then someday, somewhere in the world, another Godzilla may appear."
'Godzilla' (1954)
In how many films (total of both Japanese and American) does Godzilla appear (as of 2025)? The units digit of this 2-digit number is B.
3. The Flintstones is an animated TV sitcom which features the story of a "modern stone-age family," Fred and Wilma Flintstone, living in paleolithic times with the benefit of "modern" (well, 1960's at least) technology. It ran on the ABC television network from 1960 to 1966, making it the longest running animated series until 1997, when it was surpassed by The Simpsons.
The Flintstones had a pet dinosaur, Dino, who behaved like the family dog of modern times, jumping on Fred and licking him all over when he got home from work. Dino expressed human emotions, and was sometimes aroused to anger, especially when Fred was lying to him, which he could always tell.
Dino's voice was provided by a legend of the Golden Age of Animation, often referred to as the "man of a thousand voices," who is regarded as one of the most influential people in the voice acting industry, and one of the greatest voice actors of all time. What was his name? Take the sum of the letters in his name (first and last), add 1, and this will give you C.
4. Rex from Toy Story
Of all the dinosaurs on this list, Rex, the lovable T-Rex from Toy Story is probably the most human. Loaded with insecurities and vulnerabilities, this dino is always ready to dispense some wisdom or lament the fact that he may be the most fearsome predator in history, but he still has really short arms.
“I’m going for fearsome here, but I just don’t feel it! I think I’m just coming off as annoying.”
How many LONG arms does Rex have? This is D.
5. Barney is a purple dinosaur and the protagonist of the television series Barney and Friends. It ran on PBS Kids from 1992 to 2010, and new episodes continue to be produced. A two hundred million year (two dinosaur years) old, six-foot tall purple tyrannosaurus-rex with a green tummy and green spots on his back and his tail and yellow toes, he comes to life through a child's imagination, springing up from a doll to full size. In turn, Barney opens children's eyes to the joys of learning and discovery, to the wonders of make-believe, and to the beauty of unconditional love. Dubbed as the "Elvis for Toddlers" in the early days, he is best known for his silly and optimistic attitude.
While popular with its intended audience of 2 to 5 year olds, Barney & Friends drew severe negative reaction from adults, who mocked the title character in popular culture through song parodies and comedy routines such as being beaten up by NBA star Charles Barkley on a Saturday Night Live episode.
But hey. The show isn't meant for adults, don'tya know.
What is the name of the American author and educator who created Barney? Subtract 3 from the number of letters in her first and last names. This is E.
6. Jurassic Park. You'd never seem dinosaurs like this before! This amazing 1993 film introduced its audience to the computer-generated imagery and visual effects that would become the standard for movies to this day. Director Steven Spielberg started a sound-design company just to mix and modify the animal sounds that would become the roars of the dinosaurs. Jurassic Park ultimately spawned a multimedia franchise which included 6 sequels, video games, amusement park rides, and merchandising like you wouldn't believe.
Jurassic Park was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." In what year did this occur? The last digit of the year is F.
CACHE IS AT:
N42 19.ABC W74 33.DEF
"Walking with Dinosaurs" is a Reptilia-themed power trail consisting of 25 traditonal microcaches hosting their featured dinosaur, and 2 large, well-stocked ammocans you'll have to answer some questions to find. It extends for a total of 4 miles north from Hubbel Corners toward Grand Gorge on the lovely, but lesser known Southern portion of the Stamford Rail Trail. The trail is mostly flat, wide and level, and other than a few sections that can get watery, it is dog, stroller and bike friendly. Most of the caches are winter-friendly, but a few are not, so check the attributes if there's deep snow. We recommend doing it over two days for a more enjoyable, leisurly experience, but more ambitious cachers (or First-to-Find maniacs!) can start early and do it in one. We have tried to provide good coordinates and helpful hints to give you a rewarding caching experience.
Parking is available at the South end of the trail at N42 18.165 W74 33.256, or at the North end at N42 21.238 W74 31.250
