Geocache Description:

The cache is a small Altoids tin.

I’ve been scouting out a place to climb to the Gavilan Peak Summit (GC15FOE) . It was too hot to climb up today, but I was out scouting out a place to park and begin the hike. I found a cool place to park at the coordinates listed.

The cache is a small Altoids tin.

Of course, this Cache is not at the points listed. Do you want to find this cache? Read on:

I’ll admit it; I was a huge fan of New Wave music back in the day. If I am being truthful, it was probably to the point of obsession. I grew up in Southern California and listened to KROQ for hours on end. With that in mind, I give you the actual coordinates:

N 33 54.ABC
W 112 07.DEF

All the way back in 1983, I lived Cypress, California. You could say I was not expecting to grow flowers in the desert back then, but I sure am now.

But way back in 1982, I met a girl with Auburn hair and eyes that hypnotize

Can you believe I graduated high school in 1985? I was Alive and Kicking back then

Doing something with my life was starting to become a priority in 1987. I was in college learning about life. Back then I sung a song that was a simple prop to occupy my time.

Everything was so simple in 1981. I was just a kid getting out of school. Hanging out and being cool. 1981 was a good year.

Forget about the rest of the clues here. What you get is what you seek. That was not the case in 1986.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

Since you’re here, why not go on up to Gavilan Peak Summit (GC15FOE)?
