Geocache Description:

Just a C&D (should be) along Rt.442, with a funny story behind it. This is a replacement "container" and not nearly as nice as the original, but hubby's not here to do the job anymore! Congratulations to POINTME2 for the FTF!!!

I happened to see a road sign recently that brought this song to mind but, wanted to hide the cache on a more traveled road. If you don't want to hear about the story, skip this part and go get the cache! A young truck driver out on his second job was hauling a load of bananas when he came to the hill overlooking Scranton, Pennsylvania. Apparently he missed the sign warning trucks to use a lower gear on the steep, curving grade. As his speed picked up and he tried to slow down, there was no response. He prayed it was a dream but, in the end he was let with 30,000 lbs of mashed bananas! Thanks to Harry Chapin for the song - 1977? Gotta google it!
