Ducats

Aiming for the Cleveland coast, we search for Ducats, and the corner of a baseball field.

Hickories and aspens add bursts of yellow to the ever-changing fall kaleidoscope. When Cache Owner callmeox placed Ducats 15 years ago, the cache description ended with “Go Tribe.” In that time span, a nation said “enough” with sports images, and profits, made from tribal symbols.

The Cleveland Indians looked down the bridge to the Guardian statues dear to the city, and the Cleveland Guardians were born. Guarding history, legacy, a piece of land on a Great Lake, and future generations.

Next door to the Guardians play the Cavaliers, incubator of LeBron James, who is distinguished for ending the Cleveland sports curse in 2016, among other things.

Our GPS lands us at the corner of the field. Signs point to a magnetic treasure.

When there’s no parking, or you won’t pay for parking, and your driver “circles the block,” there’s time to meditate.
