sskaysee: The statue is fine, but the cache location has been totally bulldozed. It's gone and no idea when the park will reopen.

Another micro along the Memphis Riverwalk...
This cache is close to the Tom Lee Bronze that was recently placed in Tom Lee Park by the Mississippi River.
Tom Lee didn't know how to swim when he pulled 32 people out of the Mississippi River. On May 8, 1925, he was a levee worker, riding downstream in a 28-foot wooden boat when he saw the steamboat capsize. He turned his boat "Zev" upstream toward the sinking ship and ferried five boatloads of men, women and children to shore, burying some in the sand for warmth. Though 23 people died that evening, 32 survived.
The life-size bronze statue is by artist David Alan Clark and deserves a stroll along the river.
You are looking for a typical urban cache….there’s nothing fancy about the cache, just the statue. Enjoy your time along the river.
