Geocache Description:

An easy and quick multi with a chance to learn a little about a couple of Weatherford celebrities.


[updated May 1, 2020: We're pleased to adopt this geocache from its original owner and have fixed and improved it. Here's to another decade of finds!]

Before we talk about celebrities, let's focus our attention on a couple of volunteers special to the Weatherford Public Library.

Stage 1: Near the posted coordinates. Add the year the couple was honored to 42.714 to find the North coordinates.

N 32 __.___

J.R. Ewing of the TV show Dallas was played by Weatherford native Larry Hagman. Some of you may also remember him for playing opposite Barbara Eden in the 60s sitcom I Dream of Jeanie.

Larry's mother was an accomplished actress and was famous for a high-flying character on Broadway. To meet J.R's mother, add the number of letters in the volunteer couple's last name to 44.

W 97 __.808

Stage 2: A fitting tribute to J.R.'s mother. You'll also discover what made her Broadway appearance such a high-flying accomplishment. To find the North coordinate of the final, add the number of letters in her last name to 640.

N 32 44.___

To find the West coordinate, add the year she was honored at the library to 46.821.

W 97 __.___

All locations are within an easy walk of the starting coordinates -- and the final is easy. You won't even need to get your shoes dirty.

Good luck and have fun!
