Answers submitted by GoodLook for us both on September 2, 2018, find was in May 2018.
Found whilst I was travelling from Australia with GoodLook. For close to a month we drove more than 5500 miles in our rental car whilst caching around the USA and parts of Canada. Stand out moments have included a boat trip in Georgia on Lake Lanier; completely filling my Jasmer Grid (which is not possible to do in Australia); dropping into the ASPGB Mega in New York; socialising at various events; catching up with family friends; attending the GeoWoodstock 2018 Giga; caching in specific US States meaning that I have now cached in all 50 States plus D.C.; and of course the fun involved whilst caching with geo-buddies. What a wonderful adventure it has been!
Thanks for the virtual cache.

Ups!!! Wir sind gerade aus Deutschland hier in New Orleans, und müssen feststellen, dass wir dem Owner keine E-Mail mit den Antworten schicken können. Wir werden das nachholen. TFTC
Stopped here at this interesting monument as we travelled around the French Quarter. Lots of names on this monument. Answers sent to CO for logging requirements.
Found it!
We are on a road trip to the Florida Panhandle in search of Delorme pages and counties and any other interesting caches then we are heading to New Orleans and grabbing some more on the way. Nice Memorial!

After four days of driving, today was my first chance to explore NOLA on foot. I had worked my way north into the French Quarter using various streets but decided that taking the footpath along the river would be the best way to return south to meet up with the rest of my group for lunch. It also gave me a chance to grab this virtual cache before a wave of rain came through the area. I was treated to the whistles of the steamboat Natchez playing several songs as I studied for my answer.

3rd of 12 finds with Foon! We walked over 6 miles around New Orleans today! As we were gathering the information we needed, we met "the dentist", two caches from back home in LA! Nice to meet you. It was also cool to see the Holocaust memorial by Agam just down the way. Foon Emailed our answers. TFTC!
TFTC. I wish all Americans etc. realized the importance of "HARD WORK AND PERSEVERANCE"!!!!
A nice day walking aroun New Orleans. We stopped by and gathered the information. Thanks for the virtual.
I made my daughter gather the information here. It was a nice walk before the rain started!
First time visiting New Orleans, found the cache on the way to the Steamboat Natchez.
Highly recommend that trip to future cachers!

In town from Phoenix for a visit and to cache in our 50th state. When we're in a city that's new to us, we enjoy nothing more than doing a virtual cache tour. You can learn so much more than just sitting on a bus being lectured to. Today we are off from our nearby hotel for a walking virtual tour of the French Quarter. It was rather strange considering this statue in light of current events. Thanks for bringing us here.
9921. Found this during our holiday around the USA.
Walking around New Orleans on my 50th Birthday grabbing a few Virtual Caches ! This was the fifth stop for the day. Info quickly gathered and has been sent to the CO. Wonderful area to look around for a while, including watching a Paddlesteamer go up river ! Then moved on to the next Virtual on my list.
Thanks world travelers !! Fav Point !

The Supercomputing Conference was in New Orleans in 2010 and now it's back in 2014, so I'm visiting some old friends for some TB miles and grabbing some new smileys I missed last time, or which have been placed since...my cache history says that I last came from distant shores to this spot on the 14th of November 2010.
A nice sunny day for a walk through French Quarter and along the riverbank area. There was some huge Ingres meetup thing happening near here today and while I was waiting for the steamer Natchez to line up for the TB photo op, it broke up, with hordes of green and blue-clad portal smashers heading off staring intently at their phones as they went off to battle the opposing forces, or whatever it is they do....

Found by Mary & David, from Melbourne, Australia, at 1345. Came here after disembarking from our cruise on the Steamboat Natchez today. An interesting statue. We found the required information easily enough. Answer sent. Our thanks to world travelers.
Found on a short visit to New Orkesans while in the USA for a conference. We very much enjoyed our time here.
Thanks world travelers - Requested information emailed.- Greetings from Australia.

#127 for the juc_cacher team, even though it's only me. Here in town for geek-week (SC10 Supercomputing conference). A nice walk down to this park with geek friend Chris on a somewhat gloomy afternoon. While gathering the clues a muggle rode by on a most interesting whipper-snipper powered bike...pity the photo is all out-of-focus !
Thanks for the cache !
