Geocache Description:

"Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes."--from "Blue Suede Shoes"


This cache is the 8th in an 11-cache walking series placed over a 1.1 mile stretch located between Blue Course Drive and the Penn State Blue Golf Course.  The series is designed to be family friendly with easy to find hides placed near an established path or paved walk.  Each cache is named after a song with the word "blue" in it.  If you happen to be feeling blue, may the walk lift your spirits.

Much of the path goes through gentle woods of maple and oak trees but some sections are in full sun (when the sun shines).   From parts of the path you can see Mount Nittany.

Most of the caches have logs that are micros set within small or medium containers for waterproofing and easier finding. I've listed most of the sizes as micros since most don't have room for trade items. Please take your own pen or pencil. The hint below is a giveaway.

"Blue Suede Shoes" was chosen as one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. The song incorporated elements of blues, country and pop music of the time. Elvis Presley performed his version of the song three different times on national television. It was also recorded by Buddy Holly among many others

For the Blue Suede Shoes cache, you're looking for a regular container with space for swag.  The cache celebrates that Blue Suede Shows is a ROCK and roll standard.

Note:  In going to this cache from Blue Walk 7, you do not need to bushwack. The cache is three feet from an established path.

Enjoy your walk.

(Though my husband, JBT, knows nothing about this cache, I have asked him to be disqualified from the FTF lest anyone think he had advance knowledge.)

Congratulations to mattressgnome for the FTF!
