Geocache Description:

The cache is at the posted coordinates, and can be signed at any time. But you must first meet the requirements below before you can log a smiley on this challenge.


This is the first of what I hope is a few challenges I would like to place in honor of my favorite albums.  The challenge will be to find caches for each of the tracks on a given album.  The rules are as followed:

  • You must find a different cache for each of the tracks of the album.
  • If the song title has multiple words, I will take any words in the title except conjunctions (and, or, but, nor, yet, so, for), articles (a, an, the), and short prepositions (in, to, of, at, by, up, for, off, on). I will make the words I will accept in BOLD.  
  • The words must appear in the cache title and can't be part of another word.  (ie: dishrag is not allowed for rag.)
  • You can have found the caches at anytime.

This is a challenge that pays homage to a local band in the area that will celebrate their 50th anniverasry in 2015.  The Grateful Dead played a huge role in my life and I wanted to start this series with one of their albums. In the early 90's, I dropped out of college to follow them around for a couple years. I learned more about life in those years than any other time. While the Dead was never much of a studio band, this is my favorite of the earlier studio albums.  Also the spot where the cache is hidden was a place they hung out at a lot in the late 60's.  

St. Stephen
Dupree's Diamond Blues
Rosemary
Doin' that Rag
Mountains of the Moon
6 China Cat Sunflower
7 What's Become of the Baby
8 Cosmic Charlie

This might take a little travel.  All the caches do exist in the Bay Area but at least one might be a little tricky.  


I hope to place a few more of these in the coming months.  I like challanges and I love music and this seems like a fun way to mix the two.  Feel free to place your own cache in the series if you like the idea. (Feel free to use the banner as well.)  I would love to see others favorite albums and would like the challenge of completeing them.
