SQ - Monkey Barrel # 5 - Michael Jackson Tribute
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

The Monkeys wanted to do a cache as a tribute to the most Famous Person to ever own a Monkey...... Michael Jackson! And what a better way to do a tribute than at a Tribute to a tribute!
To fill you in on a little pop culture history, Michael Jackson owned a chimpanzee, name Bubbles.
That's right, a tribute...... to a tribute. After Michael Jackson's death, a memorial started to form at the Motown Museum in Detroit. A ton of momentos and stuffed animals started piling up. The Museum decided the best way to honor this memorial was to bury the momentos at Woodlawn cemetery, where a headstone was erected. I've put a couple of websites with news reports about this "event" in a posted note below..... Take a moment and check them out.
Now, to the puzzle cache! All the answers you need are on the headstone at the coordinates given at the top of this listing.
Please Bring your own writing utensil. Beginning inventory is 4 monkeys and 2 firemen. A crisp $2 Bill for FTF!!
