Thinking About Great Geocachers - TAGG. My favorite geocaching memories are about people I've met, caches I've hunted, and places I've seen so for me it's not about the numbers that add up.
So sing along with me:
Just got home from Illinois, thinkin' 'bout cachers, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a think 'bout the greats.
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm thinkin' …

You can check your answer here
(visit link) or just go out and grab the cache if you like.
You must bring your own writing instrument and sign the log. Part of the cache puzzle is figuring out how to open the container. The cache container has very little room inside so it is a micro. The container is bigger than a film container and smaller than a D-battery flashlight.
(If you don't know who CCR are, they are the number one swamp rock group of all time. But this page is really about geocachers in Missouri.)

Congratualtions to all of you. I wish I would have been there for the celebration. My friend, Art The Crow, saw you there and was happy for your all. So, this time sing along with Art:
Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.
There's a giant doing cartwheels,
Some ladies without high heels.
Look at all the happy cachers dancing on the lawn.
Bother them tomorrow, today, they’ll have no sorrows.
Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.
