This cache has been archived.

thorax: I finally made it out to check on the cache’s status. After looking things over, I’m afraid that its time for this one to throw off its veil of tears. Thanks to everyone who came after this one. If I can find another suitable spot, I may try to do something similar down the road.

Geocache Description:

I've finally gone and done it. Here is my first geocache.
It the the first of (hopefully) a series of caches about heroes.
The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

There are heroes all around us. Some heroes live most of their lives perform amazing deeds that change the world, like Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, Jr. Some heroes' deeds result in them making the ultimate sacrifice, like Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman, and James Chaney. Many times, heroes find themselves being in the right place at the wrong time but still have what it takes to perform amazing acts, such as the brave men and women of United Flight 93. Still other heroes' acts seem small at first but are heroic nonetheless, like the people standing in line with their neighbors to vote, or a parent comforting a child who is frightened.
The puzzle below is made up of heroes. They will help you find this cache.

If you want to check your puzzle solution, (to borrow a technique I learned from Lowracer), you are welcomed to email me your solution, along with how you arrived at that solution, and I will email back to let you know if you are correct. I am, however, at times far away from my email, so timeliness in response cannot be guaranteed. Also, I've added some links at the bottom of the description. The link titled 'spoiler' will give you the exact coordinates.

Please don't give away any information about the final location or the cache container in your logs

Congratulations to KoosKoos for FTF!
