Geocache Description:

The cache is not at this location, but the key to finding it is. 

This "Ghostly" Statue sits upon a side of the Court House that seems to get little attention.  I find it interesting and reminds me of the Wraiths in Lord of the Rings.


The Spirit of Freedom
 

 

This statue by Muriel Castanis is very interesting and a little unknown.  It sits on the grounds of the Court House in Montgomery County and looks like one of the Wraiths from Lord of the Rings.  "A self-taught artist, Ms. Castanis was known in particular for her method of laying an epoxy-soaked cloth over a mannequin built of plastic foam.  She would then remove the foam, leaving empty, faceless figures that were reminiscent of Greek sculpture." (New York Times, 11/06/2006).


This geocache is not located at this site but the clues to the location is.  Once you arrive at the location you will see The Spirit of Freedom.  On it is a plaque with an inscription.  The location of the cache is located at:  N 39 0_.972 W 077 09._ _ _.  In order to find the missing four numbers of the coordinates you need the below key and clues:

A=1 
B=2
C=3
D=4
E=5
F=6
G=7
H=8
I=9

Here are the clues for the missing numbers:
1.  Third Word 5th Letter.
2.  First Number of the Year.
3.  Third Word 1st Letter.
4.  First Word 3rd Letter.

A lot of people walk about this area during the day.  Night time may be better, plenty of street lights.  This is a Micro (which I hate, but like the spot).  Good Luck.
