+Coldgears Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'd love a special Icon... Hell, I'd travel 70 miles from my house to the nearest one just for that ICON. I refuse to miss it like I did with the 10 years, and locationless. And soon to be APE if it goes missing. Quote Link to comment
+ihorn Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I will have to go and make sure to grab one of these. Have the Jim Henson Studio not that far away from me. Quote Link to comment

I refuse to miss it like I did with the 10 years, and locationless. And soon to be APE if it goes missing. Closest one to me is 173 miles away. My son would probably enjoy them since he likes that show. There's one in California and I'll be out there with my son next month but it's at the wrong end of the state. Quote Link to comment

+Andromeda321 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Found the one in Cleveland a few weeks ago with a friend- it was a great cache though I wished others had responded to the logbook's request to list their favorite dinos! Quote Link to comment
+Juicepig Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 So is this a partnership with Dinosaur Train or PBS? In Canada, Dinosaur Train is shown on CBC (and we don't have PBS)... Quote Link to comment
Audreyhb Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 So is this a partnership with Dinosaur Train or PBS? In Canada, Dinosaur Train is shown on CBC (and we don't have PBS)... Dinosaur Train is produced by the Jim Henson Company. Thirteen/WNET.ORG is the PBS station in New York. We are helping to facilitate this initiative for Dinosaur Train geocaches on behalf of the Jim Henson Company. I will pass on the requests to get one in Canada. Thanks for your interest. We definitely have them available to send to PBS stations in the United States if anyone else is interested in contacting their local PBS station.

+Hatfield.Hunters Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I found out about this today and have done some searches, but I don't know how to find them close to my zip code or city. Any hints for searching for these close to home? THanks! Quote Link to comment

Any hints for searching for these close to home? THanks! This bookmark list has about 100 of them, although several have been archived. It's not sorted by proximity to you, but the column between the checkbox and the GC code should tell you how far away each is from your home coordinates (and in which direction). You could scan for low numbers. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
+lamoracke Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 found one of these and did not even realize it was part of a larger series. I do remember it was a cool container next to our local KCTS store and was very well hidden for being a decent size container. Quote Link to comment
