"Eine Kleine HAGmusik" geoart celebrates the theme for this year's HAG XI event, which is "Music Music Music". Each cache features a song or an artist with "hag" in their name. It is not a power trail, but all of the final coordinates are within a 2 mile radius. All of the containers are placed in easily accessible locations, there is no need to bushwhack or cross any fences. If your GPS is pointing you onto private property, please double check the coordinates and use the hint. And have fun.
None of these caches are at their posted coordinates, see each "related web page" (link at top of this page above coordinates) for the correct coordinates. Video controls will appear if you hover.
Remember to write down the letter and number at the top of each log sheet, you will need them all for the final. None of the caches have pens, bring your own. Because the GPS was at times jumpy, each cache has a generous hint.
OK, so this one isn't actual music, it's poetry, but it has the electronic artist HAG playing his "Deadwood" in the background.
Robert Herrick was a 17th-century English lyric poet and cleric. He is best known for his book of poems, Hesperides. This includes the carpe diem poem To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time, with the first line Gather ye rosebuds while ye may. In "The Hag", read by Jean Aked, we see revealed a darker side to his character.
