Geocache Description:

A couple of puzzle caches that were published to mark August’s geocaching streak got us thinking of some other songs that have made us smile. And so an idea for a small series of puzzles was born.

Hello Muddah Hello Fadduh

This Grammy Award winning song by Allan Sherman is based on letters of complaint he received from his son at camp. It reached No 2 in the USA for 3 weeks in 1963.


The cache is at South 36° AB.CDE East 174° FG.HIJ

South questions are from the cartoon video:

A = How many tents are there?

B = How many days has he spent at Camp Grenada?

C = How many stripes on the arm of his jersey?

D = How many canoes on the river?

E = How many boys are being read Ulysses?

East questions are from the classic video:

F = How many photographs of parents do you see?

G = How many bears do you see?

H = How many people are in the boat + 1?

I = How many went hiking x 2?

J = How many alligators do you see?
