On Location: The Hellfighters (Sabine Street) Houston, Texas, United States
By Great Birds on 26-May-10. Waypoint GA2242

The location of this cache is near the site for building used in The Hellfighters as the headquarters of the Buckman Company. The movie showed some potential as a John Wayne action film but wound up being a dull potboiler. The story is so bland it should have been called The Heckfighters. For the full review see On Location: Hell Fighters (Downtown Houston).

The original building is no longer standing and I located the approximate site by matching up the locations of several skyscrapers downtown. The cache is a little south of the building site because of the proximity of other caches. Park on Sabine Street and you will get the great view of downtown that made this attractive as a film location, although there are many more buildings that were there in 1968. You can easily see the two of the three prominent structures from the film, the old Humble Oil building (now ExxonMobil) and the former Houston Lighting and Power headquarters (Houston Public Works) The Tenneco building (El Paso Corp) is hidden by the green glass walled Wells Fargo Bank.

You are looking for a camoed bison tube on Sabine Street near Allen Parkway. Like many urban locations, this area has plenty of muggles. With a little stealth you should be able to sign the log without attracting attention.
