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.

         Convoy

This song from 1975, by C W McCall, became a no 1 hit on both the pop and country charts in the USA. It also did well in New Zealand, and we remember it well. It helped start a fad for citizens band radio, and inspired the film that this video is from.

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

A = Number of letters in the first word of the Garden Centre sign.

B = Last digit of the number on the street sign (6 _ ) just before buildings are demolished

C = The number a finger points to +1

D = The number of Gs minus the number of Bs in the two words on the _______ BROS sign.

E = The total number of helicopters in the sky.

F = The number of white road barriers at the roadblock.

G = The last digit of the number up behind the driver.

H = 0

I = The number of stacks of timber on the truck that tips over.

J = The number of buses in the convoy.
