Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, the posted coordinates are near an awesome park where disc golf can be played in nice weather and sledding is an option in the winter. Solve the puzzle to find the cache.


I had the pleasure of attending a geocache event in the Madison area while riding shotgun while the other drove. On the way back from the event, I was shocked & surprised when this person expressed great interest in the artist who is the inspiration for this cache. She blasted the music for this person on her car speakers and we decided to count the repetition in one of the songs, and from there the need to hide a cache with this theme became a must-do. The cache is not available at all times, and is not available at night. Please respect the community the cache is hidden in by not hunting outside of posted hours, thank you.  My boys and I have been enjoying listening to Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper's song Elvis is Everywhere and while it was playing, my eldest changed the part that was "Michael J. Fox has no Elvis in him" to

"(this artist) has no Elvis in him" We laughed for almost 10 minutes. Apologies to my geocaching colleague who might be upset right about now. This cache is all about the artist's world, or at least the 2.0 version of it.

Puzzle solution is at N 43 ab.cde  W 089 qw.xyz

A = only number listed for each and every song

B = artist last name

C = artist last name - artist first name

D = ones digit for the song that has only two characters in its title

E = number of i's and e's in the title of the eighth song

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Q= number of unique consonants in title of opening song

W = last name of featured artist on the seventh song

X = name of featured artist on first song plus number of times this artist says the title of that song during the first song

YZ = number of times the title is sung by the artist who this puzzle is about in the opening song minus one

Please cache in and trash out while geocaching for this one.  There is street parking available, you do not need to park in a no parking area.
