Geocache Description:

'Locally known as "The Black Angel," this statue honors Ruth Anne Dodge, the wife of General Dodge. Sculpted by Daniel Chester French, creator of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the Black Angel commemorates Ruth Anne Dodge's 1916 death.' - www.CouncilBluffs-ia.gov

Also known as Iowa's 2nd Black Angel.


This is a great, hiddem gem amungst the Bluffs. Very peaceful, serene place located next to a cemetery.
It's up several stairs, so not exactly wheelchair accessable. There are two benches to relax and take in the scenery from.

Cache is NOT located on the statue or in the wishing well. No need to trample thru any flowers, either.
Update 07-26-18: New log, new location. Container is now a bison tube.
