Team_GiHa got the FTF

You may feel like you are being watched as you hunt for this cache in Pathfinder Regional Park. The sculpture was designed by John Alderman. In February, 2018 his body was found in Penrose, Colorado and the death was ruled a homicide. As of this writing no arrests have been made.

Thanks to d.digger for the following additional information:
John Alderman's original art for the Pathfinder Park statue [shows Fremont with a gun and wearing a hat]. The sculptor replaced the gun with a surveyor's transit and omitted the hat. Fremont did his "surveying" by pace and compass, he never used a transit.

Please take the time to read the informational signs on the west side of the statue. Park hours are 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. There is room for small swag and trackables. Initial contents include a little FTF prize and a travel bug. BYOP. Feel free to take a selfie with The Pathfinder and post it with your log.

Out in the open, added some weight to it since I had no pencil, lol.

d.digger's pic of the artwork is very cool. I like it much more than the scary eyes of this one. lol. Discovered lots of Munzees nearby. Gwen;) and I were laughing that once you get close, the statue is very sassy with that pose.

Getting up close really gives a person that how BIG the monument is. The rusted steel and the eyes are something else. The photo that d.digger posted on 04/26/2018 shares abit of history that is in the past, that is more like a Pathfinder would be like. SL. TFTC.
