Geocache Description:

"You Can't Roller Skate __ _ _______ ____" was a Top 40 hit for Oklahoma singer/songwriter Roger Miller in 1966. If you can complete the lyric, you've got a leg up on solving the theme of this Lawton cache series. All caches are micros or smaller. High muggle factor at most locations, so use extreme stealth.


I started this series with 12 caches placed for the enjoyment of the SouthWest Area Geocachers (SWAG) and the Texoma Geocaching Assn. (ToGA) when they gathered for a meeting in Lawton in the summer of 2011. Over time, the series has grown, thanks to the assistance of Oklee and TEACH1961. At this point, all but one of the original 12 still exist, as do nearly all of the additions.

At this stop, you're looking for a hanging nano hidden at the entrance to a peaceful, but mournful location. When you arrive, you'll quickly understand the title. This is located along an extremely busy roadway, and the muggle factor on the property can also be high at times, so be stealthy!

Trivia: William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States, was felled by an assassin's bullet while visiting the Pan American Exposition on Sept. 6, 1901. Where was the Exposition that year? Buffalo, NY.

Congrats to Duane and the Queens for the joint FTF!
