About This Item

Preston with Africa just before his release

We don't have a lot of information on Africa, but according to the writing on his belly, Africa the hippo apparently came into existance in China, traveled via an importer to somewhere in Florida (SE USA) to Redmond, Washington (NE USA) where he was sold in a toy store. His releaser, Preston, would like to see him make it to the continent where he belongs - Africa, so he can visit a cache near "where wild hippos are".

This Hippo Sure has big plans. So if any body reads this log. Lets see if he can make it to this Stargate cache and give him a big jump to Germany for Preston. The caches # is Gcmr79, in Sw Washington. I will drop him off soon.
