Geocache Description:

This is the third cache in our series of downtown Rochester caches with the intention of bringing cachers to an interesting location.

Franklin Square Park was a beautful and vibrant park in the early 1900's it's now known as Schiller Park.

In this park is one of the city's more obscure landmarks, a monument to beloved German poet and playwright Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805) This statue dominates the small park at Andrews Street and Franklin Square.

German-born sculptor Carl Augustus Heber built the Schiller monument, a bronze bust atop an imposing limestone platform and pedestal. Given to the city by its large community of German immigrants, the statue was installed in Anderson Park at University Avenue and East Main Street. When the Inner Loop invaded this space, the monument was moved to its current location — diagonally across from Harro East in Schiller Park.

You are looking for a camoed matchstick container with a log only. BYOP!!! I would strongly recommend day time caching only in the area.
