Geocache Description:

Log only. Bring your own pen. Please close container carefully and replace as you found it. Permission for cache granted by property owner. There may be tall grass or briars, depending on the season. There is no need to cross the fenceline! Small item squeezed in for the FTF. Tip: the Oak Lake Road route is considerably less bumpy than the Democrat Road route.

PLEASE DO NOT SCREW DOWN THE TOP TOO TIGHTLY, AS IT MIGHT JAM CLOSED.

This cache name is a reminder of one of my dad's favorite phrases... when he knew somebody wouldn't like something and would in fact be agitated or impatient to the point of jigging about or jumping up and down, Dad would say, “She's gonna be dancin' Josie.” Apparently the phrase came from an old play-party song titled “Coffee Grows On White Oak Trees.”

Here are a few of the words:

Coffee grows on white Oak trees
The river flows with brandy O
Go choose someone to roam with you
Sweet as lasses candy O

Two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Two in the middle and I can't get around
Two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

The song may be found on this page: (visit link)

If you continue past the cache site down the Democrat Road you will reach one of the Navasota River crossings, known as the Democrat Crossing. The road may not be in very good shape the closer you get to the river, so be warned.

Congrats to TxAg9406 for the FTF!
