758 - Curious George Goes To The Park
4th St S, St Cloud, MN, US location_on N 45 33.360, W 094 09.656
I placed this tag in my hometown of Saint Cloud, Minnesota near a lake where I spent countless hours as a child. My former muggle sister who recently placed several of her own caches (!!!) was along for the hide. The area has changed a lot since we were little, but it felt like the right place to leave George.
There is quite a bit to see in the surrounding area, so bring a picnic and enjoy the scenic views.

Spent quite a bit of time here looking for it. Even witnessed a crime and made a report. Look more while waiting for police response. Someone grabbed it and did not log it. :(

003 - An Extra Large Rodent
Mountain Loop Hwy, Granite Falls, WA, US location_on N 48 04.617, W 121 44.266
Bleh! Rodents - who needs 'em? As it turns out, this one is extra large. I'm told they are the largest rodent in North America. Back in the early days of the USA, they even made hats out of 'em. But, despite them being rodents, I'm told they have a beneficial effect on the environment, both for water and wildlife. Good for them! As for me, I've gone into hiding - they're just too big! FYI, it is unlikely that there is cell service here.

757 - Molly Mammoth Meets Minerva in Moorhead
US-10, Moorhead, MN, US
Minerva is the Roman goddess of poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, crafts and magic. If you look to the west, you'll see her likeness depicted on a brick column at the Rourke Art Museum.
Molly Mammoth is hiding near her dear friend, Van Gogh. You'll note the sculpture's likeness is uncanny to the Dutch-painted as it even has a bandage around his ears! [Hint: hoofs on the ground]
If your schedule permits, Molly the Mammoth would love you to visit the Sticksgarden, an adopted city planter turned community space located across the street from the posted coordinates.

Mamie the Mammoth is hiding in a land of giants! She wandered off the beaten path and took refuge in a dark place. Hidden well, safe in a small lock-n-lock.

a nice hiding place in an area I've gone fishing several times. The rain was pouring down, but I was determined to find the tag. The way things are going so far this summer, this might be the highlight of my year . Thanks !

History has been made here. This was the long time home to The Omaha Royals, and the Home of the NCAA College World Series. So many relics of that time are still here. You can see many signs pointing to that fact, spread throughout the facility. It is said that home plate is exactly where it was when this place was bigger and full of energy. Maybe my ancestors were here. I am here. My cousin is just over the right field wall, at the Henry Doorly Zoo.

Laurel Ridge Rd, Penfield, PA, US
Matthew was spending some time at Parker Dam State park practicing some social distancing. The weather was HOT & HUMID and he needed a drink. As he walked down the road he noticed that there was a bridge that went over the creek. After getting a drink he made his way back up to the bridge, when all of a sudden a large truck scared him into hiding. He is hidden very close in the last pic near the the post with the name of the creek on it. *HINT** "Magnetic and covered"
425 - Mammoth At The Museum
Parrington Oval, Norman, OK, US
I couldn’t believe my eyes, as I stared down at my phone. It was early morning and I had just received wonderful news. As I stared down at my phone, confirming a new mammoth in my area, excitement began to boil. It was just yesterday that I had checked to see, for the first time in awhile, if any mammoths had made it to Oklahoma, only to be disappointed with negative results. With only 28 days left, I had felt my luck running out on ever getting that mammoth. So as I stared at my phone, letting the news sink in, I knew this was it, my chance, and booked it out door. As I drove in the early morning rush hour traffic all I could think was “please let anyone else going after this mammoth be stuck in morning traffic too!” As I got closer to GZ, I realized exactly where I was headed. When I pulled into the Sam Noble Museum parking lot, I set my eyes on the most obvious host that I knew would have my mammoth. I made a beeline out of my car and to the host...the buffalo statue. I was buzzing with excitement as I skipped my way up. After feeling under hooves, my hand landed on the container and my heart skipped a beat. Still in disbelief, I opened that container to find my reward! Finally!! There’s no better way to start a morning off than with snagging the tag! To the rest of my caching peers, I wish you all good luck on the last 28 days. And a big thanks to those making it happen! ~PuppyPlayingCache68~

You're truly a ninja, you didnt even leave a foot print. LOL
425 - Mammoth At The Museum
Parrington Oval, Norman, OK, US
What better place to find a mammoth tag than at the Oklahoma Natural History Museum in Norman? This museum is fantastic and reasonably priced so I’d recommend taking some time to walk through if you have time.
The tag is outside of the museum, and being guarded by a large COVID-free bison. How do I know it’s COVID-free, you might ask? Because it’s wearing a mask, of course! Ha.
Hint: Bison will trample you, if you don’t watch out for the “hooves” (or is it hoofs?)!

This furry behemoth likes watching other behemoths and dreaming. He found this spot to sit and watch some furless behemoths and is dreaming about where they are going and where they have been. Help this guy out with an adventure of his own.

Rockland Station Rd, Kennerdell, PA, US
Drove all the way from Cleveland area to snag this one. So happy it was still there. We ended up just parking on the other side of the half mile long tunnel. My caching partner was pretty freaked out walking through the dark tunnel but glad to find the Mammoth snag the tag on the other side! Its our first one and excited to find more in the future.
839 - Mammoth Turtle
Pleasant Dr, McGregor, IA, US
A couple of weeks ago a mammoth was hidden in LaCrosse, WI so we drove all the way there from Waterloo, IA only to find that it had been hidden in a not-so-good place and disappeared before anyone found it.
Fast forward a week, I checked my email this morning and had 2 mammoth notifications. One from yesterday and one for today.
We headed to Cresco, IA because there was a mammoth hidden at the fairgrounds yesterday. When we got there it was missing and no one claimed it yet.
Since there was another mammoth hidden in McGregor, IA, we headed east in hope's it would still be here.
While on the way to McGregor, we got notification that NinjaB had beat us to the Cresco mammoth by 5 minutes. He's truly a ninja because we never even saw him or a footprint.
We arrived in McGregor and with a little help from my wife and Pinky... Bingo!
803 - Extinct Fairgrounds
Donaldson Court Rd, Cresco, IA, US
Saw this show up yesterday and didnt have time to go out Saturday. This morning I see it was still out in the wild and not claimed yet. Took off for a nice drive and came upon the area around 9:30. Took a bit but I ended up finding it tucked in the spout. Thanks for placing this.
167 - Late to the Party
Front St, New Westminster, BC, CA
Husband was snoring and couldn't get back to sleep. What better to do at 6:30 AM then try for a mammoth? Had to hurriedly find some clothes that weren't in the bedroom. One pair of pants and one tank top were found and were layered over PJ's and off I went. So stoked the New West FTF hounds weren't up yet. Thank you!!!
167 - Late to the Party
Front St, New Westminster, BC, CA
This mammoth has been busy taking in all that New Westminster's Pier Park has to offer. Periods of playing basketball and volleyball has been interspersed with lounging at the beach, on the grass or on one of the many available lounge chairs.
The mammoth has really enjoyed this place knowing that the murky waters below are filled with White Sturgeon, which have survived from the days of the dinosaurs.
When you park your car you may notice the salmon painted nearby pointing the way to this tag with arrows.
You will locate this mammoth tucked up against the metal border of a garden planter, adjacent to a cement support.
The place can be especially busy in the evenings so best to get here sooner rather than later.

YAY, Max did not have covid he just has a sinus infection. That trunk of his causes problems but he will be better in a few days.
Hint: Under a rock.

Back when Mammoths were roaming the Turtles were also big. Come and look under the Turtle on the left for what you seek.
307 - No Clearance Mammoth
Germantown Greenway, Germantown, TN, US
Well this time i was victorious. After a "No Luck" last week, Eagle and I made our way out to GZ for a search. We searched high and low for 30 mins and still no luck. I think I need a refresher course on Geocaching because I must have looked at it 4 times and never saw it. Luckily with PAF, I was given a direction and saw it as I approached. Good hide!! Great location! Thanks for the fun! Happy Hunting!

Max was hidden quite well. Definitely took turning over quite a few stones. Thanks for the game.
074 - Max wants a drink
Centennial Trail, Nine Mile Falls, WA, US
Max is looking for a good watering hole. He needs to make his way down the hill, but only a little ways.
Take the upper trail. The terrain is about a 2.
Hint: Just about head high.
073 - Max is hungry
S Lundstrom St, Airway Heights, WA, US
Max is looking for something yummy for dinner and he really likes fresh grass. Too bad that it's not available in the Tundra but since he's here he doesn't mind half dead grass.
Hint: Under a rock.

My dad has been wanting a mammoth for so long! Great little surprise for him to find on his bday weekend! Got up early and we made the trek south of the cities.
803 - Extinct Fairgrounds
Donaldson Court Rd, Cresco, IA, US
With the extinction of county fairs this year Mammoths have seeked this ground of emptiness for safe keeping. This one is thirsty and looking for some water. The well may be dried up but that doesnt keep him from still looking. Look at the end of the spout and that is where he is hidden.
968 - The Fireplace on Squak Mountain
Central Peak Trail, Issaquah, WA, US
I had resigned myself to not getting one of these, what with COVID-19 and the game coming to an end. When I got off my string of morning meetings and checked the map, and saw it was right up the hill for me, I had to try. Hike instead of lunch today, and made it up to the fireplace in 34min for the find.
245 - Emo mammoth
Mariposa Ct, Riviera, Coral Gables, FL, US
I came out on a mission to find this Emo friend. I heard he was feeling blue and was stuck down under. Found him! This is our first tag/geo coin and we are very excited to be part of a new aspect to the geocaching game!
968 - The Fireplace on Squak Mountain
Central Peak Trail, Issaquah, WA, US
It is a bit of a hike to find the place where Mammoths are rumored to still roam on Squak Mountain. They are known to be hiding in caves on rock walls, possibly even on the side of a random large fireplace!

Of this little mammoth was hiding and when he finally came out he decided to visit the kids! Hiding over where we hang out every week for a little extra help. :) hopefully he comes outta hiding for you! Might need a TOTT to get him out!! He’s so stubborn!

I thought my cousin, the elephant, might be here, but I guess he may have moved down the interstate to the Henry Doorly Zoo. Oh well, I guess I will sit here awhile before I move on.

Heard there was a report of a Mammoth roaming the corn fields of Iowa. Had to see got myself. After searching I came upon a watering hole. Sat nearby behind a rock. And sure enough here came a Mammoth. It was small, so I captured it and will take him home as a pet.

030 - Mammoth's in the Heartland
N 14th St, Lincoln, NE, US
“Mammoths roamed Nebraska’s grassland for more than one million years before mysteriously disappearing between 11,000 and 10,000 years ago. these extinct relatives of today’s elephants were the largest mammal’s ever to walk the great plains. Adult males stood more than 13 feet tall at the shoulder and had a weight of over 24,000 pounds. Mammoth bones and teeth have been found in ice age deposits in all but three of Nebraska’s 93 counties. Bones and tusks were uncovered just 100 yards east of where you are now standing. This sculpture was completed by Fred J. Hoppe in 1998” (lamp post nearest back right foot)
802 - Mamouth Tower
Co Hwy V58, Cresco, IA, US
Since Mammoths are large creatures it helps to put this on one of the larger objects in town. Parking is nearby and will be a quick find. Look in S.E. corner on horizontal support beam. Seek out a 6 bolt plate. Reach under top one and this Mammouth is hiding out there.
Good Luck
170 - Find a Wooly
130th St, Delmar, IA, US
Just when I thought all the Wooly Mammoths were extinct this fella pops up in one of my favorite cemeteries. Had to wait until after work to hunt down this beast.
On the way over I was extremely anxious in wondering what I was going to find if anything since it published over 12 hours ago. Would it have moved on? Did someone already snag this?
Upon searching GZ I found a container! What was in it? Nuts, fur, teeth, or the whole Wooly Mammoth itself?!?
Thankfully it was the Mammoth!!! 🐘
