Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT LISTED COORDINATES. SOLVE THE PUZZLE BELOW TO GET THE LOCATION.

NOTE: There is now a number written in the lid in the format LLMB: x with x being the number you need. A bonus cache for this series will be published soon, so please start collecting and saving them if you are interested. I will also respond to email requests for the number if you lose it or forget to write it down as long as you have logged the cache.

This is the ninth in my Lisa Loves Musicals caches. Each one holds a special place in my heart. They will all be movies or plays somebody in my family has performed in or performed a number from. This one was kind of a stretch, but I couldn't NOT include it as it is one of my all time favorites. I swear I cry at the end EVERY time lol. You would think I would get over it. My daughter did perform Getting to Know You in a fundraiser. She was one of the older girls in the community theater at that time, and it was such a cute number with all the little ones gathered around her. I also saw one of Yul Brynner's last performances of the king at The Pantages in Los Angeles.

The questions are based on the stage play and the 1956 movie. They shouldn't be too hard. You will breeze right through it if you are familiar with it or a little work on Google should yield you the rest.

Cache is just off a nice path. There are several different spots you can park at, so check it out on Googlemaps, but all of them will require a bit of a walk. It is lovely though! Make sure to see the view from the nearby bridge and check out the amazing HUGE stump with a smaller tree growing out of it. Container is another camo'd peanut butter jar starting with some swag and a new trackable in honor of my daughter. BYOP

Please rehide so it can't be seen!!!
