A cache at Pleasure Ground Park in Montgomery, NY. There are walking trails, pavillion, dog park and much more for the whole family to enjoy.
This cache is place at a memorial dedicated to victims of September 11, 2001 which was originally built by members of the local girl scout troup 284. Enjoy the cache, but please take a few moments to remember what you were doing when the world stopped turning! If you'd like, please include those memories in your logs.
Congratulations to 1001WordsPhoto on grabbing FTF!
I remember being at work on September 11, 2001 and starting to here the news of what was happening. I called my wife and told her to turn on the TV. She responded, "What channel?". I simply said, "Any channel". I think that really sums up that day.
I remember looking up into the sky and not seeing any airplanes, what a strange eerie sight!
We knew people directly affected, we know people who for some reason were not at the World Trade Center that day but normally would have been. May we always remember
Alan Jackson may have said it best
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Were you in the yard with your wife and children Or working on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke Risin' against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor Or did you just sit down and cry?
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones And pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble And sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out with pride for the red, white and blue And the heroes who died just doin' what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer And look at yourself and what really matters?
[Chorus:]
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell
You the difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Were you teaching a class full of innocent children
Or driving down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Or speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Or go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Did you stand in line and give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love?
