Geocache Description:

Welcome to Hero Park.  This park is dedicated to four men who were on United flight 93 on 9-11-2001 that sacrificed their lives to save countless others.  Amy and I like to invite people to veterans memorials because our fathers both served in the military and while this is not a veterans memorial, it is a tribute to four brave men who paid the ultimate price to keep us all safe, just as many of our veterans have done. 


CO update 5/4/15: I got a report that ants had invaded the cache so I stopped to check. The ants had vacated. I took with me a little diatomaceous earth (DE)and dusted the inside of the cache container. DE is not poisonous, but it does kill ants.

This is a good place to practice CITO and would give you a plausible reason for looking for the cache while Muggles are around.

BYOP and happy caching!

I know of 2 ELTC who are enjoying remarkable streaks.  Shell Leavers had 368 having hit their goal of 366 days before.  TyroneShoelaces was at 543 and JUST CAN'T STOP.  Good luck guys; I hope this helps.

 

The series of caches for the ELTC has one thing in common, they can be found in under an hour if you work or live in Euclid.  This is the 35th in the series. 

The ELTC are a group of geocachers who work or live in the Euclid area and hone their caching skills during their lunch breaks. 

The ELTC are also a quick response team to score FTF honors on new hides. Their training in lunch time cache finds makes them ideal searchers for newly posted caches and they have racked up an amazing number of FTFs. They employ stealth techniques of epic proportions, using props to go unnoticed by Muggles. They use the standard "talking on the cell phone" rouse for looking for the cache. One ELTC used a fishing pole to blend in while he hid a cache on a lake shore break wall. Another took her dog with her and pretended to be cleaning up after the dog while rehiding a cache. One of the ELTC pretended to be an old grumpy guy cleaning up trash in a local park to go unnoticed. The stories are myriad. The motto of the ELTC is, "If you hide it, we will find it; quickly, it the middle of the day, and without anyone noticing." All you have to do to do to become a member is to have found a cache in the Euclid area while out and about during lunch time hours and proclaim, "I am a ELTC!"
