Geocache Description:

Something every American should read fully - a USF tribute to a great leader.

When I took the reading that gave the above coordinates, I was at the beginning of something to read - a famous speech, rendered in its entirity. I told RatCrow that I usually don't visit virtual caches but, if that silly Solar Scuplture was going to be considered a virtual cache, so should this. He liked the name I gave it.

At N 28 03.755 W082 24.791 there's a bust of the speaker.

** Radiating out from the bust are paths that point towards cities noted in the history of this individual and his struggles (with the names of the cities at the ends of the paths - for question 3, you're gonna walk one of these paths!). **

The area the monument is in is named after the individual.

Have a seat by the reflecting pool when you've read the speech.

GeoCaching.com asks that a test or two be required to prove that you've visted the site, so here it is:

1. To prove that you at least looked at the speech, include the last word from each portion of the speech as divided up by the monument (words from the speech, rather than "about the speech").

2. To prove you were there, email me using the link provided, the quote on the bust's mounting (there are actually two ... either one will do).

3. Give the coordinates of "where he gave the speech." The monument tells you where it is, and no, you don't need to go to the actual location - In fact, you shouldn't have to go more than 500 feet away (less than 200 feet from the bust, I'd say - see ** above). Walk the paths until you find the end of the right one, and get it's coordinates.

If your answers do not meet with my satisfaction, your log will be removed (which will decrement your cache found count!).
