Geocache Description:

You are seeking a slightly bigger than micro and slightly smaller than small cache in an area the CO calls "Cougarville" just off Hwy 41 East.  This 'new development' is similar to Saskatoon, it just keeps growing!  And, rumour has it, a bunch of new ladies are going to move in soon! 

NOTE-AS OF SEPT 4, 2016, YOU ARE SEEKING A SMALL/MEDIUM SIZED L&L CONTAINER, TRADABLE SWAG

A quick park and grab,  I was inspired by ALL the water in the area....!  Finding dry places for new homes(caches) in this part of Cougarville is a bit of a challenge but an "Island Girl" was quite adamant about moving into the area quickly so I found a spot!  Cougarville is open to all friendly folks of whatever gender, race, sexual orientation, age, etc.  All we ask is that you treat all caches kindly and replace them as you find them.

How many of you have hummed or sang along to Elton John's 1975 hit song 'ISLAND GIRL"??  How many of you actually know the lyrics or meaning behind the song? This CO sure didn't, not until preparing this cache description!  Fascinating stuff, really!

"The lyrics are about a prostitute in New York City and a man who wants to take that prostitute back to Jamaica.  Arguably the 'Island Girl' is a male prostitute, given that John sings "She's a big girl/she's standing six foot three/turning tricks for the dudes in the big city"... Gay men may occasionally refer to a gay peer as 'she' rather than 'he'. At the time the song was released, Elton John had not yet publicly come out.  The following year, in a Rolling Stone article, he said he was bisexual.  In 1988, confirmed he was gay and went public with his relationship...."  (Source:Wikipedia) 

So here you go....start singing wink

"I see your teeth flash, Jamaican honey so sweet

Down where Lexington cross 47th Street

She's a big girl, standing six foot three

Turning tricks for the dudes in the big city.

Island girl

What you wanting with the white man's world

Island girl

Black boy want you in his island world

He want to take you from the racket boss

He wants to save you but the cause is lost

Island girl, island girl, island girl

Tell me what you wanting with the white man's world...."
