Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES


This Beatles cache series is to have you either reacquaint yourself with their music, or introduce you to it (as if).  Many of the clues for the coordinates can be found from merely looking up lyrics.  But, for some, you have to actually listen.  I'll count on you to know some grammar, parts of speech, count beats, add and subtract, and even count time.  (And don't be surprised if you start singing along.)  Hidden in and around Catonsville and Ellicott City, Maryland, 7/8 of the caches are cylinder containers (you may have to crease the log to get it out) that are camo-taped.  I'm starting each out with some similar swag, as well as some having travel bugs I picked up in OBX, and a couple I'm adding.  I have FTF pins in most and Brit swag, as well as a few other things my kids added.  So, bring trade items.  Beware of muggles, as always.  Please replace just as I have hidden.  And, I apologize in advance for spiders, mosquitoes, ticks, thorns, poison ivy, and any other mania.   This one has the permission of the pool board, even though it says "No Trespassing."
