Geocache Description:

This is the third in a new series of puzzles, celebrating some of the more obscure or interesting songs by well-known artists. This one comes from early Jimmy Buffet. His less commercial work is a treasure trove of clever lyrics.

The cache is not here. You might park here if you have good karma with the Greenwood Village police. Otherwise, see the Parking Waypoint.

To find the coordinates for this cache, you must extract information from the Jimmy Buffet song "Door Number Three". Not all of the information is found in the lyrics. Some research may be required. Listen carefully. Some lyrics online are incorrect!

The cache is at 39 37.ABC 104 56.DEF.

Extra credit if someone can explain who he is singing about when he sings:
"Well, she's no big deal to most folk.. But she's everything to me".

Initial contents: An unactivated micro coin for FTF, a coin to move along, and a Geocoinfest 2012 pathtag.
