Here is the third and last of our song trilogy caches and it
will take you to a picturesque spot in the Blue Hills Reservation.
This adventure has you determining the coordinates in the same way
you do for
Brave the Elements and
Relatively Speaking, by
listening to song lyrics and answering some questions.
DO NOT USE THE COORDINATES
LISTED ABOVE!
This cache might be considered to be
just another box in the woods. We did have some reasons for
creating it, however:
1. You will see a wonderful view of Boston
from the parking area. Bring a quarter to put in the telescope if
you would like an even clearer view.
2. The parking area is also the starting
place for
BluEyz Cache, one of our other caches that offers a different, but
equally beautiful, view of the Boston skyline.
3. There are picnic tables available which
gives you a place to have a meal as you discover any of the many
caches in the Blue Hills Reservation.
4. We wanted the walk to be a short one to
make this a relatively easy cache.

Hills Reservation along with driving directions and a printable
