Memorial Boulevard was established in 1920 to honor the citys WWI veterans. Each huge oak tree you see along the mile long boulevard was planted in memory of a Bristol soldier who gave up their life in WWI. Now there are monuments & a Veterans brick walkway, with names of Veterans & their branch of service inscribed on the bricks in this park-like setting. Take some time to walk the sidewalks on either side of the Boulevard after finding the cache.
There is a small parking lot located at 41.40.141 72.56.047. You will have to be very careful crossing the lanes of traffic to look for the cache. You can also park at adjacent Riverside Ave. THERE IS NO PARKING ALLOWED ON THE BOULEVARD. On various weekends during the year the city closes down the Boulevard to traffic & opens it up for people to walk,bike etc. There is a high muggle factor here & we're hoping the micro stays hidden. The GPS was bouncing around when we placed the cache -we took four readings & averaged them. The cache is a camo covered pill bottle, enough for a pencil & small log. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS CACHE IN THE DARK! THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF VANDALISM SURROUNDING THE MEMORIALS & ACCORDING TO THE NEWSPAPER THERE MAY BE CAMERAS & WATCHERS HIDING IN BUSHES TO CATCH POSSIBLE VANDALS. PLEASE DON'T PUT YOURSELF IN AN EMBARASSING POSITION & FACE POSSIBLE ARREST FOR BEING THERE AFTER DARK!
