Geocache Description:

"King of the Mountain" is a 1990 song performed by Midnight Oil, an Australian rock band. I was introduced to it today by railroader921 as we played King of the Mountain, geocaching style, up to 7,600 feet above Perry. I liked the song, which sounded so good at this altitude, and thought it fitting for a puzzle to mark the occasion.
