Welcome to my series of "Road Trip" hides........It seems impossible for me to take a road trip without music...and there are some tunes that I automatically crank up the volume for! A good Road Song is one that makes you want to sing along with it, one that stirs memories of past life events and relationships perhaps....and one that can jolt you wide awake if you find you need a bit of a 'boost'...crank up the music and enjoy! Even if you aren't fond of some of these selections in this continuous series, I think you will agree that these 'classics' are definitely memorable and appropriate!
This series won't be limited to one particular highway or area but I have started with this route to start things rockin' and rolling..... I hope to continue placing caches on this northeasterly set of highways on a regular basis-I hope you enjoy them. I have tried to place these caches where you can safely pull off the road but please exercise care and caution as you would for any other roadside stop. Have fun, buckle up, and hit the road!
Ahhhh THE EAGLES! Who doesn't know and love their music? And who doesn't know a bit of the 'gossip' about the fights and conflict between some of the band members? And who wasn't happy when "hell did freeze over" and The Eagles reunited and continue to tour to this day! Their library of hits is as long and diverse as the band's impressive history and personal stories and conflicts. The music continues and that is what true fans of the band care about the most.....
(SAD NOTE-SINCE THE DEATH OF GLENN FREY IN EARLY 2016, THIS INFO IS NO LONGER ACCURATE. THE MUSIC LIVES ON BUT THERE WILL NOT BE ANY MORE EAGLES TOURS)
This is one of my favorite songs by The Eagles...and I have many....this one always strikes a chord with me and I automatically turn up the volume if it comes on the radio while I'm driving somewhere, no matter if it is a road trip or in-town trip! If you don't know the song, check it out in full via You Tube, and in the meantime, here's a sampling of the lyrics.....
"Well, I'm running down the road
tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on
my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
and take it easy......"
