Another contest today. In order to be considered right today I will need:
The location of this photo (GPS coordinates preferred)
The name of the statue
Who it is in honor of
When it was built
Who dedicated it
Who the artist was
One additional fun fact about it.
Good Luck Bill!

7)The tapered, cylindrical granite pedestal holds four over-life-size bronze figures, with the portrait statue of President James A. Garfield at the top and three allegorical figures representing different phases of his career below...one of which you took the picture of....The older Statesman, dressed in a toga and holding a tablet inscribed "Law/Justice/Prosperity," symbolizes Garfield's achievements as Congressman, Senator, and President.
Yeah... Ok... I am not going to even try on these anymore... They are solved before I even get a chance to look at 'em...
Bill, did you use your GPS, or did you use google to locate the coords?
Did you get a GeoCache account set up yet??
You just need to be faster Dave! Make sure and log onto his blog at midnight!
I used google...I'm not that good with my GPS yet!
I'm waiting for you to take me on my first GeoCache trip and show me the ropes before I set up an account!
