When I moved out here and took a job in the office park, I thought it was so cool having so many neat statues scattered around the office park so I decided to set up a series to bring the Pac-10 to Colorado with me and to show off some of the statues here.
Believe it or not but the Cardinal for Standford refers to the vivid red color not the bird. The Mascot is a Tree to represent El Palo Alto, a giant Sequoia that is on the seal of the host city for this school. You can read about this interesting college mascot at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_Tree

Found it without any issues. This cache could use some love. I would have replaced the container had I been carrying any at the time. Signed the log Brysworld. Thank you for the cache!

We found this one after dark. At least there aren't any muggles. Cache is missing lid. It is bound to get log wet.

Took a walk over from the wrong parking lot and found the crushed container on the ground. Signed the log and tried to replace the best I could. TFTC!
