Geocache Description:

Cache is not as the posted coordinates and is a preform container that has only a logbook. Please bring your own writing instrument to sign the logbook and replace as found. You do not have to visit the posted coords in order to find this cache, but please do ... that is the highlight of the cache.

The posted coordinates will bring you a stunning sculpture by Simon Frank, entitled Landmark. From Mr. Frank’s proposal:

Landmark will be comprised of a large tree section, or tree “slice”, installed in an upright position at the intersection of the two paths; sited on the north side of the trail, facing along the walkway towards Wilson Street. The sculpture will be approximately 42” tall and 3” thick, and will be bronze-cast directly from an actual tree section. This will allow the artwork to retain all of the natural texture and character of the wood - making it look similar to the many cut logs lying nearby at the site.

Landmark will also have a text element, raised in relief on both of the “cut” surfaces of the sculpture. This text will run in a circular pattern, like the concentric growth rings of a tree.

You will need to project a waypoint from the posted coordinates at a bearing of 359 degrees. To figure out the distance in meters, you will need to do some counting. Count the number of letters starting with and including the word Here and ending with and including the word arc. Alternatively, if you feel a bit adventurous, you can just "walk the line" since you know the bearing. The cache is hanging 5 feet up, on the backside of a pine tree. Good luck!
