Geocache Description:


A nice little walk/hike in Bedwell Bayfront Park along the Great Spirit Path. 

Here is some history of the Great Spirit Path. As of when this was hidden, the path is relatively new.

Between 1980 and 1985, the city of Menlo Park, CA commissioned me to create a stone sculpture at Bedwell Bayfront Park. The Great Spirit Path, a 505-ton stone poem spread over a ¾-mile trail in the park, was the result. I used Native American pictographs as a foundation for the sculpture. Many parts of the poem are visible from satellite: Latitude:  37 degrees 29 minutes 33.8 seconds N and Longitude: 122 degrees 10 minutes 13.3 seconds W. 

Phase I, comprised of twenty-one pictographs and titled The Evening Good Trail, was constructed during 1980-81. City engineer Lauren Mercer assisted with its installation. Major stones, such as those used for “sun,” “earth,” “inspired,” and “many,” were hand selected at a quarry in northern California. All of the field-stones, several tons in all, originated from Sonoma County. A local landscape crew and a boy scout, David Keith, assisted in the installation. David assembled a team of scouts to work on the project and earned his Eagle Scout badge because of his effort.  
 

This cache is an easy find. Should not take too long.
