Geocache Description:


This multi/offset cache will bring you to a very nice memorial/monument in Fall River's Heritage State Park. The memorial and final cache are both handicap accessible, so anyone should be able to find and enjoy this cache!

The posted coordinates will bring you to a granite memorial with several parts to it. There are two bronze plaques, two tiled poems, one in English and the other Portuguese, and an impressive replica head and torso statue of Mr. de Medeiros. The offset portion of this cache should be easy, as the purpose is to bring you to the memorial, and almost all information you need can be found on two of the plaques. Use the below formula to get the coordinates for the final cache container:

N 41° 42.[A-1]BC W 071° 09.D[E+7]F


John Teixeira de Medeiros lived from 19F1 -199D.

While he spent most of his life in Fall River, he did live in the Azores from 19E0 to 19A0.

Locate the plaque that includes a list of entities and individuals who helped make the monument possible.

B = the # of letters in the name following “Amigos do”

C  = the # of letters in J, T and A’s last name


The final cache is magnetic and in a typical place. Hope you enjoy.
