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 tenth of a series of challenges I would have 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, articles and short prepositions. I may make exceptions to these rules.  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.

I have only recently started to appricate this album.  Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys is proof that pop music can be good music.  It was voted #2 on Rolling Stones top 500 Albums of all time. 

I think all of these can be found currently in the Bay Area.

  1. "Wouldn't it be Nice "
  2. "You Still Believe in Me "
  3. "That's Not Me "
  4. "Don't Talk"
  5. "I'm Waiting for the Day "
  6. "Let's Go Away for Awhile "
  7. "Sloop John B." (The letter B will only be accept if it is followed by a period.)
  8. "God Only Knows "
  9. "I Know There's an Answer"
  10. "Here Today "
  11. "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times"
  12. "Pet Sounds"
  13. "Caroline, No"

I like challenges 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 completing them.

I am excited to add an album challenge to a series of caches I have been placing in McLaren Park. All of these caches are creative hides that might take a little time to figure out at the GZ. McLaren is an amazing urban park that has flown under the radar for many years. I walk my dog here almost every day and am excited to place a few caches here to share this park with others. This one is located on one of the best trails in the park. For many years the SF Parks & Rec department has basically ignored this park and let it fall into a state of disrepair. Lately people have been discovering this park again but there are still large sections of the park that remain almost unused. Parts of this park border the Sunnydale projects so I would not cache here at night.
