Welcome to Remmel Park!
A great sign deserves a great cache. This one may take you some time, or may not. This is a well camoflaged bison tube.
I am keeping this cache public even tho I have recently had several public caches stolen. I am however, getting rid of the hint to discourage thieves from easily targeting this one and I am bumping the difficulty up .5 due to the lack of a hint.
If you enjoyed looking and hopefully finding this cache, and are not a premium member, I recommend trying it out as you will have many more cache locations revealed.
Good luck and have fun.
Cache On!
This park is named after Pratt Cates Remmel who was a longtime Republican activist who served as mayor of Little Rock (Pulaski County) for two terms in the 1950s. The first Republican to serve in that office since Reconstruction, he was also the Republican Party’s nominee for governor in 1954.
Pratt C. Remmel was born on October 26, 1915, in Little Rock, one of five children of Augustus Caleb and Ellen Lucy Remmel. His father died when he was five, and his mother raised the children by herself. Remmel graduated from Little Rock High School in 1933 and then attended the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, where he received a bachelor’s degree in economics in 1937.
Upon leaving office, Remmel stayed involved in the Republican Party but also devoted his energies to other activities beyond his insurance business. He was involved in the American Legion and the American Red Cross, serving as state vice chairman of the Red Cross, but his greatest energies were devoted to the state’s waterways. He served as a member of the Arkansas River Basin Commission, as well as chairman of Arkansas Waterways Commission.
Remmel died on May 14, 1991, and is buried in Little Rock’s Roselawn. He was posthumously inducted into the Arkansas River Hall of Fame in 1996.
