+Kouros Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Out of interest... does anyone know if there is a cache under the rock that has no earthly reason to belong under the tree in the location that Tim Robbins' characters left the very forst Cache for Morgan Freeman in the film The Shawshank Redemption? If there isn't, does anyone know the location? Would it be feasible to plant one there? ------ O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.

DisQuoi Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 I think that scene was computer generated. Quote Link to comment
+Macro Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Wouldn't that technically be letterboxing? I dont remember Morgan Freeman wielding an Etrex! Quote Link to comment
+threelanes Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 We created a traditional Cache with this theme. It was hard to believe that it hadn't been done somewhere before. Unfortunately, there was too much construction nearby and it didn't last long. Shawshank Redemption Look for some photo's on the next post. Tom Quote Link to comment
+WaldenRun Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 The placing of a letterbox there has been discussed in the letterboxing Yahoo group. -WR "Why worry when you can obsess?" Quote Link to comment
+threelanes Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 I just posted some photo's to the cache page. Although I used a digital camera and used the computer to save them, the aren't 'computer generated'. We plan to replace the cache in a couple of months when the work crews finish up.

+gnbrotz Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 The location of the actual wall in the film is somewhere in Ohio. This was mentioned here in the old forums. Film location info can also be found here, though I have yet to see a set of coordinates for this location. Greg N 39° 54.705' W 77° 33.137' Quote Link to comment

The place is a wreck, but many of the Shawshank props were still there. Including the half-way house room with the graffetti. Only the bottom half of the walls were painted that gray color for the movie and the ceiling in the Warden's office has collapsed. They are trying to raise awarness and $$ to fix the place up. Its a neat old building. Visit if you can. Any Ohio geocachers want to create a Shawshank cache near the prison? "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day...

+TAT Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 In the movie, it was in a hay field in Buxton, Maine. This is a small rural town near where I live. I'd like to set this up but don't know where yet, maybe someone will beat me to it! Quote Link to comment
