About the Film:

LOCAL HERO, made in 1983, is a little gem of a movie. This enchanting tale begins with an American sent to buy up all the property in a small coastal town in Scotland. Nothing normal or predictable happens from that point on. Wonderful characters and performances abound throughout the film. Peter Riegert plays the man with a mission and he is joined later in the film by his boss played by Burt Lancaster. The Scottish writer-director of this film, Bill Forsyth, is a genius with presenting us with his wonderfully quirky townsfolk.

About the cache:

There is no one who qualifies more as a “local hero” in Vero Beach than Waldo Sexon. Originally a citrus farmer from Indiana, as far back as the early 1900s Waldo set out to develop Vero Beach into a tourist destination. Many of the landmark buildings and developments are still around today. All were established by him or his partnerships in the early 1930s and all are listed as historical sites. And no account of Waldo’s life lacks an attempt to describe his unique personality. He has been called an “imaginative entrepreneur”, an “outrageous screwball” and “one of the most colorful persons that Florida had ever known.” It is for this reason that the theme and tone of the movie LOCAL HERO fits so perfectly with our cache’s location.

High muggle area. You are looking for a magnetic micro. Log only. BYOP. Just ask yourself: "Where's Waldo?"
