Geocache Description:

My second annual Thanksgiving hide is part of our ongoing They Might Be Giants series and targets a couple of our favorite cachers; Turkey Red and Timbalina. Together this dynamic duo is known as Team Turkalina, but we sometimes affectionately refer to them as The Turks.

There is no need to advance beyond the tree line. Log only, bring a pen and extraction tool. Please use stealth and replace as found. And as always, waddle on!

"Istanbul (Not Constantinople)"

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
