Find one for the Gipper Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

kpgowings: Construction is finished in the area, and everything looks great, however, the "shrubbery" is too young to find a good spot to replace. I'll archive this for now and look for a future hide location

Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911–June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of the United States (1981–1989), the 33rd Governor of California (1967–1975) and prior to that, a radio, film and television actor.

His first screen credit was the starring role in the 1937 movie Love Is on the Air, and by the end of 1939 he had already appeared in 19 films, including Dark Victory. Before the film Santa Fe Trail in 1940, he played the role of George "The Gipper" Gipp in the film Knute Rockne, All American; from it, he acquired the lifelong nickname "the Gipper". Reagan's favorite acting role was as a double amputee in 1942's Kings Row, in which he recites the line, "Where's the rest of me?", later used as the title of his 1965 autobiography.

The front of this location has recently added four statues of the Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Reagan. Each statue includes a plaque with a biography and famous quote.

The bronze statues weigh about 600 pounds and took up to eight months to finish, says Mark Lundeen of Loveland, Colo., one of the sculptors in the project.
