Will Rogers was a stage and motion picture actor, vaudeville performer, American cowboy, humorist, and a few other things. He died tragically in a plane crash on August 15, 1935 along with famed aviator Wiley Post in Alaska. The Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun, built in 1937, is a great place honoring Rogers' life. One of Rogers' famous quotes was, "I joked about every prominent man in my lifetime, but I never met one I didn't like." For me, I've never met a cache I didn't like. You can get a spectacular view of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and the city of Colorado Springs from the top of the shrine. Hope you all enjoy! Congratulations to mrk2013 for FTF!

I helped hide this cache, with my daughter. I doubt it is missing. It is one of those little black nano caches on a picnic table. It is tucked in a tight corner, so check very carefully.

After visiting the Will Rogers Shrine I gave this a quick 5 minute look before it started to thunder and lightning. Thanks for placing this up here.

We came, we looked, we did not find your cache today. And there were seven of us looking. Coords were in the rocks but we looked all over the picnic tables. Got in trouble for being on the rocks. Park ranger says if it’s. It in the rocks CO needs to say so. Nice view though.
