Modeled after Cow Parades in Chicago, the Pittsburgh exhibit featured 100 fiberglass dinosaurs. This project was sponsored by local businesses and organizations who had the opportunity to decorate their dinosaur. They were then placed around the city for all to see. Although many of these dinosaurs are no longer in the city, some still reside in the 'burgh. This series will show you where some are located. Hope you enjoy. Pictures are welcome but please do not post a photo that would give away too many of the puzzle answers. Thanks.

The cache container is a camo'd pill bottle and is located in a spot easily walkable from Rex. There is a nearby employee parking lot which is available on evenings and weekends.
