PhillyStoic: All of the bushes in the area have been whacked -- there goes my hiding spot. This cache has run its course. I'm archiving and opening up this real estate for another cacher to place a creative cache.

Geocache Description:


DIFFICULTY/TERRAIN
This is very easy, wheelchair accessible terrain. An easy walk from downtown to the plaza. The cache may take a few minutes to find, but isn't too difficult.

CACHE OVERVIEW
The Memorial Plaza II cache is hidden in honor of my close friend, a Navy Chief Petty Officer, who is now in Iraq. [UPDATE: 17-MAR-07 Friend is now back from Iraq deployment -- made it out in one piece.]

[UPDATE: 03-SEP-08 Friend is being deployed again to Afghanistan. *sigh*]

This cache is hidden at Indiana War Memorial Plaza, a five-block area of downtown Indianapolis, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The cache site is between American Legion headquarters buildings and south of the Central Library. The view towards downtown is terrific from this cache site. Enjoy it! I posted a picture below of the view you have from very near the cache site.

Southeast of the cache site are standing memorials to fallen Hoosiers from both the Korean War and Second World War -- stop by to see those while you're in the area.
