Why don’t T. rexes ever log their geocache finds? Because they can’t reach the Logbook.

This week, we’re bringing you a mystery gadget cache that is likely to give you a chuckle. An exceptionally creative geocache, this prehistoric dino dude needs your help to get to the log sheet.

Hidden in Ohio, Here-A-Pod Teropod (GCB47EA), was placed for Midwest Geobash to fit the dinosaurs and Stone Age theme. Many amazing dinosaur-themed caches are scattered across the land, and this gem is nothing ‘short’ of incredible.

As you approach this geocache, the location of the cache may be ambiguous. The container is an enclosed wooden box, attached to a pole, next to some traffic signs, making the exact location uncertain until you come closer to GZ.

Once you have set your focus on the correct container and open it up, a delightful surprise awaits—you may even let out a giggle once you realize the ambitious goal, perfectly on-theme for Midwest Geobash. Inside, you’ll find an egg, T. rex arms, and a nest.

To claim your find, you must get to the log sheet, which is protected by a combination code.

Grab the arms and scoop the egg into the nest without dropping it. This may seem easy, but the limited range and slippery hands make this a true test of precision.

So you’ve got the egg, now what? Inside is the code for the combination, locking the cache container. Enter the correct combination, and the esteemed log sheet is yours!

Placed in the summer of 2025, this cache saw 900+ visitors in the short span of a month and currently has 375 Favorite points. This gadget cache is a declaration of geocaching engineering genius! The accessible placement welcomes families and casual visitors, while the mechanical twist adds a memorable challenge.
