This movie stars Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, and Robert DeNiro. Local scenes for this movie were shot in Ridley Park, Ridley Township, Lansdowne, and Upper Darby, among other places. The trailers for the shoot were parked in the Ridley Township Library parking lot less than a mile away.
I'm not really into movies and celebrity gossip, so why this cache? It's because my wife and her friends spent much of the filming time stalking ("appreciating" - Wife edit) Bradley Cooper ("2011 Sexiest Man Alive" - Wife edit). Two straight weeks of filming, plus several weeks of occasional shots here and there meant that an entire network of obsessed ("interested" - Wife edit) Bradley Cooper fans set up phone, text, and email chains with up to the minute updates on his whereabouts.
This cache was placed in memory of that time, and also as a warning to any future celebrities who work in the area - be ready for swarms of creepy ("loyal" - Wife edit) fans and know how to hide appropriately.
ABOUT THE LOCATION
The original (unpublished) GZ was located across the street from where a scene was filmed, but ended up being too close to the freight rail line and has since been moved. That original spot is now listed as a waypoint below.
The picture below was taken by my wife's cousin, and shows Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence on that walkway over the railroad bridge at the waypoint noted below.
This scene is shown briefly at 1:40 on the Official Trailer. NOTE - External link to YouTube, and while the trailer is listed as Ok for all audiences, it may not be appropriate for little kids.
The cache is located in Recreation Park, better known locally as ABC field. This is a popular park in the center of town. This spot has no particular association with movie scenes (other than being in the same town), but as this area was lacking in caches it ended up being ideal.
ABOUT THE CACHE
You are looking for a mini bison tube that has a unique handmade "disguise". The bison tube itself is waterproof, and I have done a good amount of experimentation with the disguise, but if you could please note the condition of it in your logs it would be very helpful.
Log only, BYOP.
This is a popular park in a residential area that gets a lot of traffic, both from nearby cars and people on foot / bikes. Stealth will be required.
Be forewarned - I'm giving plenty of hints in order to help with a speedy grab. Not trying to spoil the fun; just trying to aid stealth, as this is a busy residential area.
PARKING
There is plenty of street parking all around GZ, just make sure that you obey the signs that say which side of the street to park on. Depending on time of day, you may need to walk up to a block, but otherwise you should be able to park very close by.
Congrats to hndlbr for the FTF!
