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.

Now 'The Wildwood Flower' is an old country classic. It gained a whole new popularity in the mid 1970’s, at about the time we were at university. We can confirm that it did give us a few smiles – the song that is, not the flower.

The cache is at   South 36° _ _._ _ _   East 174° _ _._ _ _

Put the following lines in the correct order to reveal the co-ordinate. Just to make it a little harder there are 3 that don't belong.

All good things got to come to an end = 9

And he said “What’s wrong with your eyes? = 9

Take a trip and never leave the farm = 9

He said, “let me give it a go.” = 8

The Wildwood weed grew out on the prairie = 6

One day this man from Washinton called in = 5

We just smiled and waved = 4

Some said it was a flower, and some said it was a weed = 4

And put ‘em in the corn cob pipe = 3

I had to fly up and get him down = 2

And they killed all our cute little weeds = 1

Things got fuzzy and things got blurry = 1

Caught up with him about six o’clock the next mornin’ = 0
