Geocache Description:


Hats Off to (Roy) Harper
Led Zeppelin



All of these caches are along the Spanish Fork River Trail. Please be careful near the river

"Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" is a song played by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is the last track on the album Led Zeppelin III, released in 1970. The track features Jimmy Page playing slide guitar, and Robert Plant's vocals, processed through a tremolo. The song was listed on the album as "Arranged by Charles Obscure," which was a humorous pseudonym for Page.
The song is a medley of fragments of blues songs and lyrics, including "Shake 'Em on Down" by Bukka White. Therefore, the song is both a tribute to contemporary folk singer Roy Harper and the influential American blues singer who recorded in the 1960s.
Roy Harper is a folk musician from England whom Jimmy Page met at the Bath Festival in 1970. He became close friends with members of the band, who invited him to perform as the opening act on some later Led Zeppelin concert tours. In 1971, Page played on Harper's album Stormcock, appearing in the credits under the pseudonym "S. Flavius Mercurius." Harper would go on to perform the lead vocals on Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar", from 1975's Wish You Were Here. In 1985, Page recorded an album with Harper called Whatever Happened to Jugula?

My boy helped me hide these caches beginning in 2011. They each are named after a song by the classic rock band Led Zeppelin. It’s a nice walking trail, but because it is also popular with muggles, the caches end up missing often. Because I don’t want anyone to be unsafe near the river, or make anyone nervous as they lurk in the trees, just off the trail, I’ve left very specific hints. There are 37 caches along the trail. If you are confident that a cache is missing, I have no problem with the cache being replaced as the hint indicates.
