I'm a huge Elvis Presley fan, have been ever since I was a little girl. When I was thinking of putting a series of 50 caches together, it came to mind to use Elvis Presley song titles for the cache names. As you're searching for each cache, try to sing the song it's named for, I bet you'll know most of them:-)
I had planned on placing all 50 of them around Lohi Lake but ran out of room so had to continue on another road after placing as many as I could around that lake. Please be careful and pull off to the side of the road as far as possible and be cautious when getting out of your vehicle. All caches will be just a few meters from the road and you will be looking for camoed containers...vial shaped and square or round Lock n' Lock. You will also notice that in one area I didn't hide any caches for over a km, due to many cottages near the road. I hope you enjoy this series as much as I enjoyed putting it together!!! (Thanks to Flashattimmies for helping me place all the caches!)
Please be advised that if you're using your smart phone as your gps, there will be some areas where there is no reception. If you're using a GPS itself, then you'll be fine.
#44...."Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North used the music as a theme for the little-known prison film Unchained, hence the name. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, by some estimates having spawned over 500 versions in hundreds of different languages. However, it was the July 1965 version by The Righteous Brothers that became a jukebox standard for the late 20th century, achieving a second round of great popularity when it was featured in the 1990 blockbuster film Ghost.
Elvis Presley performed "Unchained Melody" on April 24, 1977 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the recording of which was included on the Moody Blue album (the last released while he was alive). On June 21, just six weeks before his death, he performed "Unchained Melody" in Rapid City, S.D. for what would be his last television appearance, "Elvis In Concert"; ultimately, the song was not included on the October 3 broadcast and this version would be released the following year as a single. Both versions featured him on piano, as was invariably the case when Presley sang the song in concert.
