Geocache Description:

A couple of puzzle caches that were published last month 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.

  Lumberjack Song

Monty Python's Flying Circus certainly had us smiling on many occasions. This song from 1969, one of their skits less likely to cause offense, was a must have for this series. Some of you may remember this tune being used to advertise a certain brand of mints - "I'm an oddfellow and I'm OK..."
