Please be sure to replace the flattened dinosaur penny! It is not a prize.
It is there for letterboxers to use to make a pencil rubbing in their log
books!!! Thanks
Find the Old Brontosaurus (Now known as Apotosaurus...sorry Flintstones).
Stand at the tail.
Face the Platosaurous (duck billed dino).
Move about 8 feet NE but don't fall off the ledge.
Turn left and move about 4 feet.
Look in the crevice of the wall face ... bottom level.
It is covered with 2 small falt rocks.
Elevation 3607 feet.
Please recover it well!
If you would like your own penny ...try the gift shop. :o)

After we got home from our vacation we found out that there is a very
elaborate geocache located in the same very small park ... if anybody is
interested it would be worth your while. It was planted by Team Family
Affair.
