Toru of downtown 2

This cache has been going now for fifteen years. It is amazing how many changes have ocurred in that length of time. Some of the original landmarks I used are gone. After Citgo moved to Houston, the City of Tulsa moved the Simon Bolivar Statue I used originally to storage and then to Gilcrease Museum. A local church removed a cool Art Deco Mary, mother of Jesus statue, and a local developer ripped out a plaque that I using. So I have updated the collage with a mixture of old and new photographs but the various coordinates remain the same.

Funny thing is that I was double checking the pics and the coordinates using Google Maps. I accidently clicked over to StreetView and had fun poking around with that. You can really see a lot in StreetView. You get what I'm trying to tell you? Especially if you look really close at stuff. Of course you may not be able to see all of what you want but you could see some. I mean if you are interested. If not, don't worry about it. Just saying you know.

You are looking for a plastic storage container with a log. Please watch out for muggles.
