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 and from my home town in the NE part of the province) 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!
This song by the Mamas and Papas has always been a favorite of mine.....Mama Cass had a beautiful voice and the harmonies on this song are wonderful. There's a yearning in this song that we Canadians can undoubtedly identify with, the wish for warmer weather, brighter skies, longer summer/nice weather seasons......the lyrics are simple and yet very meaningful at the same time....
"All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day.
Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher liked the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day......"
