In reference to the many nano or hide-a-key and Altoid tin boxes hid as geocaches on many gaurdrails around the country.

Inspired by the song "Little Boxes" by Malvina Reynolds

I've changed the lyrics a bit to fit geocaching.

1. Little boxes on the roadside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a red one
And a blue one and a silver one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

2. And the people in the houses
All go out to geocache,
And they all look for the boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
And there's families and there's hikers
And retired individuals,
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

3. And they all hide these little boxes,
And think they are sly,
And they all have GPS devices,
And the people go to many cities.
And the people go to Mega Events
And then to the cache vacinity,
And they put swag in boxes
And the swag looks all the same.

4. And the people whack through the bushes,
And forge creeks with OZARK WADERS,
And they all get to the boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same. joomla analytics
