Geocache Description:

To the best of my knowledge, this is the only place in Orange County, if not all of Southern California, where the public can see an Academy Award® up close and personal, for free, 24/7/365.

So what better place for a Virtual Cache.

To answer the most asked question, the awards were donated to the school in November of 2002 at the gala opening of the newly remodeled and renamed theatre. They were placed on display a few weeks later.


This cache has a bonus, however. There is a second award on display at the same location.

To claim this find you can:

A) email me and tell me the name of the movie the Oscar® was awarded for,
-or-
B) email me and tell me what the other award is, and what is written on the third line of the inscription,
-or-
C) send a picture with you, either award, and your GPSr.

New as of October 2005: The plaza that this cache faces is the first west coast commision of artist Maya Lin who is best known for designing the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC. Financed totally by private donations, this plaza features a water table, "whispering benches", display screens, LED lighting inviting all to the plaza from the three major entrances, and a new amphitheatre. I may add a micro cache at the far end of the plaza to encourage people to look at the offerings of the plaza itself.


Sorry bout the night time lighting of the statuettes. I've tried to get it changed, but to no avail. :(
