Geocache Description:


The Hogle Picasso

In August of 1967, the famous artist Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso (Pablo Picasso) completed a monumental sculpture in downtown Chicago.  Commonly referred to as the "Chicago Picasso", the creation is 50 feet tall and weighs 162 tons.

The Chicago Picasso:

Unknown to many people (in fact, unknown to all), Mr. Picasso made a quick trip to Salt Lake City just prior to beginning work on the famous Chicago sculpture.  His intent was to do a "warm up" project.  Thus was born the "Hogle Picasso", named due to its proximity to the Zoo of the same name.

This cache is dedicated to both sculptures and to Pablo Picasso himself.  Please don't attempt to retrieve the cache if muggles are present in the nearby parking lot.  The cache is easily accessible in snowy conditions.

Have fun!
