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 13th of a series of challenges place in honor of some of our favorite albums. This is the first one placed in Southern California. All the others are placed in the Bay Area. 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.
  • Use the challenge checker below to easily see if you qualify.

For my 2nd Southern California cache of this series, I decided to do something a little different since this is in Culver City.  This time I picked my favorite movie soundtrack for the challenge.  The songs on the soundtrack caputre the mood of the movie perfectly.  I have left the artist names on the list but you need to find names from the titles and not the artist names.

I think all of these can be found currently in the LA area except the last one.  But there are over 20 caches in CA that do qualify but this might require a road trip to complete.

  1. "Hardest Geometry Problem in the World" – Mark Mothersbaugh
  2. "Making Time" – The Creation
  3. "Concrete and Clay" – Unit 4 + 2
  4. "Nothin' in the World Can Stop Me Worryin' 'Bout That Girl" – The Kinks
  5. "Sharp Little Guy" – Mark Mothersbaugh
  6. "The Lad With the Silver Button" – Mark Mothersbaugh
  7. "A Summer Song" – Chad & Jeremy
  8. "Edward Appleby (In Memoriam)" – Mark Mothersbaugh
  9. "Here Comes My Baby" – Cat Stevens
  10. "A Quick One While He's Away" – The Who
  11. "Snowflake Music" – Mark Mothersbaugh
  12. "Piranhas Are a Very Tricky Species" – Mark Mothersbaugh
  13. "Blinuet" – Zoot Sims (No Cache need for this one)
  14. "Friends Like You, Who Needs Friends" – Mark Mothersbaugh
  15. "Rue St. Vincent" – Yves Montand
  16. "Kite Flying Society" – Mark Mothersbaugh
  17. "The Wind" – Cat Stevens
  18. "Oh Yoko!" – John Lennon
  19. ""Ooh La La"" – Faces
  20. "Margaret Yang's Theme" – Mark Mothersbaugh. (Accepting Yang as well for this one.

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.
