Geocache Description:

You are looking for a matchstick container at the end of a guardrail near a bridge.

"Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car.
Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far.
And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love
that you laid on my table."

Badge is a song that was a collaborative effort between Eric Clapton, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.

From Wikipedia:

"Badge" was originally an untitled track. During the production transfer for the album Goodbye, the original music sheet was used to produce the liner notes and track listing. The only discernible word on the page was "Bridge" — a notation intended to identify the transitional moment in the song. Harrison's handwriting, however, was so bad, that Eric Clapton looked at it and thought it said "Badge" — so the band named it Badge.

Harrison told the story differently, however: "I helped Eric write 'Badge' you know. Each of them had to come up with a song for that Goodbye Cream album and Eric didn't have his written. We were working across from each other and I was writing the lyrics down and we came to the middle part so I wrote 'Bridge.' Eric read it upside down and cracked up laughing-- 'What's BADGE?' he said. After that Ringo walked in drunk and gave us that line about the swans living in the park."

This has always been one of my favorite Cream/Clapton songs.
