Location
This virtual cache is located on the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk, a linear promenade along the New River linking boutiques, restaurants, shops and museums with lush, tropical scenery. Here, the Riverwalk passes through Esplanade Park, featuring interactive navigational and meteorological exhibits at the foot of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
The Riverwalk is paved with Signature Bricks, enscribed with messages from the people who supported the creation of this linear park.
Your Mission: Find This Brick
Verifying Your Find
When you've found the "BRADLEY & JOSHUA" brick, find the adjacent brick to the front and left of it. The top right word on that brick is the Verification Word. It's the word inside the black oval in this photo (which has been pixelated to avoid spoiling it):
Once you've found the Verification Word, you can verify your find in one of two ways:
The Fast Way to Verify
Open the Verification Document (PDF), using the Verification Word as the password (in all capital letters, just like it appears on the brick), and see if you're correct. You will know instantly if it's correct - you'll see the headline "CONGRATULATIONS!" in large friendly letters at the top.
Click here to open the Verification Document (PDF).
(The Verification Document is a plain, ordinary PDF file stored on a Google Drive server. No tracking data is collected by either downloading it or opening it, and you don't have to have a Google account to access it.)
The Verification Document contains cool bonus information about this cache and the surrounding area. You won't want to miss it!
If, when you try to open the Verification Document, it tells you the your password is incorrect, please check your spelling, capitalization, and spacing. If the Verification Word is "LAUDERDALE" (which it isn't), then you must enter "LAUDERDALE" (in all capital letters, just like it appears on the brick) as the password, not "Lauderdale" or "lauderdale" or "lAUDERDALE" or " LAUDERDALE " or anything else, for that matter.
The Other Way to Verify
If, for whatever reason, you just can't open the Verification Document, please send me a message here with the Verification Word along with the cache name or ID.
PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL THE SOLUTION
Please do not reveal the Verification Word nor the Fast Way confirmation information in any of your log entries. Any log entries or images that contain such information will be removed without notification.
