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!
Ok, I'm not sure if you drove 500 miles to get this cache, highly unlikely I know! However, the cache is at Trapper Creek Bridge and you can be sure than an experienced trapper has likely logged way more than 500 miles in the course of a career? No matter what our personal thoughts about 'trapping' may be, I think most of us can agree that the SONG (I'm gonna be) 500 Miles by The Proclaimers is a great road song! I know it best from the movie Benny and Joon but it has also been featured in numerous television shows as well as at various sporting events, particularly in the U.K. It's a fun song, check it out on You Tube! In the meantime, here are some of the lyrics to get you started .....
"When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
...
When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand
Miles to fall down at your door..."
