TTM Series: Around the World in 80 Days 1956 #10
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is a series of caches recognizing the top 10 movies of each year from 1950 - 1999. Although most of the roads in this series of caches are suitable for the family sedan, there are some stretches that will require medium to high-clearance vehicles to make it over the rocks without damage to your oil pan. This is a ‘series’ of caches and NOT a ‘power trail’.
NOTE: This is NOT a POWER TRAIL! You won’t be able to complete this in one or two days and it is critical that each cache be put back where it was found and not moved from one location to another in the hopes of speeding up your discoveries. Maintenance of this series of caches is dependent upon each cache remaining in its original location. DO NOT move these caches!
It is REQUESTED that you NOT use ‘stickers’ to log your visit as these stickers are known to gum up the log, making it difficult for others to sign the log and making maintenance necessary sooner than it should. Rubber stamps are fine and there are blank pages in most of the logs for the use of rubber stamps. In the interest of keeping maintenance at a minimum, please use one line of the log to mark your visit and save your dialog for the online log for others to enjoy.
Many of the caches have a MOJO poker chip. Once you have collected one please leave the rest for others to find and claim. These are NOT FTF prizes!
Nearly all caches will have a difficulty rating of 3 because most of the caches are micros or hidden pretty well. And none of them will have hints on where to look. Good luck!

Although not nominated for best original song, the film's theme song "Around the World" (music by Victor Young, words by Harold Adamson), became very popular. It was a hit for Bing Crosby in 1957, and was a staple of the easy-listening genre for many years: "Around the world I searched for you / I traveled on when hope was gone to keep a rendezvous ... No more will I go all around the world / For I have found my world in you".
