This cache has been archived.

NCreviewer: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Geocache Description:


Cache is NOT at the posted coords!


WELCOME (back) TO THE 70’S!





Remember the Farrah Fawcett hairstyle, Bell Bottom Pants, and sky-high Platform Shoes? Long sideburns and Leisure Suits? Or Lava Lamps, Bean Bags, Pong and Space Invaders? HBO, The Brady Bunch, American Bandstand and Match Game? Or what about Jaws, The Godfather, Rocky and Star Wars? Far out man, what a groovy decade that was!

By the end of the 70’s ......
Milk = $ 1.50 (today - $ 4.00)
Bread = $ 0.40 (today - $ 2.20)
Postal Stamps = $ 0.15 (today - $ 0.46)
Car = $ 5,012.00 (today - $ 18,979.00)
Gas = $ 0.90 <----- WOW! (today - $ 3.50)

Man, how times have changed!!

One thing that will always live on from the 70’s is the Rock and Roll music that was made.
This is a compilation of some of my favorite songs from the 70’s era. Track 3 is my all-time favorite song….just sayin’. Sorry if some of your favorites didn’t make the cut. There were just so many groovy tunes to sift through.
