Cache Owner steinman17 calls up Pink Floyd’s immortal classic, and threatens to unleash a group chorus of “We don’t need no education!” This is only slightly less alarming than the cache description: Placed while on a pontoon boat . . if on foot, you can only feel around for it.
Taking Route 33 northwest out of the city, we join the morning rush of moms hauling kids to school, early Christmas shoppers heading to out-of-state malls, nurses coming home from the late shift, 4x4s refusing to morph into a mudless urban environment, and road crews doing what road crews do.
Flashing by is the Honda Auto Plant, building vehicles for 45 years, now planning a $3.5 billion investment for EV battery modules. The prototype for agrarian American labor, Honda Auto built a dynasty on rural workers who, like the cars they create, are durable and high-performing. Roadways and parking lots wrap the globe, transporting these motorized shells of human turtles, defining the shape of human existence.
Our coordinates land at Indian Lake, drained from wetlands 150 years ago to feed the canal. The amusement park built at Russell’s Point on the lake delighted families for 40 years, until Cedar Point and King’s Island took over the theme park audience.
Blaze of sun on lake restores harmony drained by city vibrations. Fall flames on favored foliage, while shorn shapes shiver.
A question of who will go and where they will go begins to emerge.
The team holds together, in the thrill of problem-solving and possible plunging.
Thirteen years after first placement. It. Is. Still. There. Like the roar of fans in the Shoe, the sound of all who have conquered this cache is electrifying.
