I've always loved this spot so when the last cache went away I decided to hide one of my own. I hope you enjoy!
Some background on the BFI:
Oficially named Chief Passamaquoddy, the BFI was commissioned by Julian Leslie for his store, the Casco Bay Trading Company. The story goes that Leslie -- a local character who parked junk cars in front of his store to make it look busy -- was having lunch in Boothbay Harbor when he saw that town's 25-foot-tall Big Fisherman. Leslie decided that he wanted an even bigger statue. He contacted the Fisherman's sculptor, Rodman Shutt, and asked Shutt to build him a Native American (Leslie's business sold moccasins). Shutt's one-of-a-kind creation was built in Pennsylvania, trucked to Maine in the dead of night to avoid rubbernecking accidents, and erected on August 26, 1969. He stands 40 feet tall on a six-foot concrete base, and weighs 1,500 pounds.
Shutt, Leslie, and the Trading Company are all gone, but the Big F Indian has survived, standing in front of a succession of businesses.
This is a high traffic area so please be careful of muggles!
And as always-
have fun and happy caching!
