Geocache Description:

Auld Lang Syne "Times Gone By"

The traditional song for ringing in the New Year in almost every English speaking country in the world is Auld Lang Syne. This New Year Song is generally credited to Robert Burns, but earlier versions of this ballad precede his time.

Burns combined a common Scottish folk song with his own lyrics to arrive at the version commonly sung on New Year's Eve. Auld Lang Syne is about old friends who have parted and meet again. To celebrate their long friendship, they share a drink together and reminisce of memories from long ago. The basic message is that we should not forget our old friends and should celebrate a reunion with them, toasting at "midnight" where ever you may be on December 31st of each year.

Do NOT go to above coordinates.
To get the correct coords to the cache you will need to figure out how many hours difference there is between Clarkston, WA (PST) at midnight on Dec. 31st and the following worldly cities.
