Geocache Description:

Mr. Lizzie, being the ramblin' creature he is, not to mention some problems with his landlady, decided he was ready for a change of scenery and has moved on up to some new digs. Not to worry, the boys still remain in town.

The other day I was waxing nostalgia to my college days at UC Davis and if you've ever waxed your nostalgia, you know what a treat that is.

I remember going to a concert at the Cow Palace in 1978 with a group of friends from the dorm. The opening act was the emerging rock band, The Cars, and the headliner was Kansas.

The middle act was an Irish hard rock band whose original name was Tin Lizzie. This was inspired by a robot character in what is claimed to be the world's longest running children's comic, The Dandy. However when front man Phil Lynott was on the telephone arranging a gig at a Dublin venue, the owner misheard the word Tin as Thin, probably due to Phil's thick Dublin accent. The band arrived at the venue to find themselves advertised as Thin Lizzy. The name stuck.



The cache is a bison encompassed by an in-theme camo. Please be careful not to remove the container from the camo as you may find it difficult to put back. Please replace exactly as found to ensure longevity.
