♫The hills are alive with the sound of music
With sounds they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears♫
The Sound of Music is a musical written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein and is based on true events from the life of Maria von Trapp. It is set in Austria on the brink of World War II and follows the story of Maria, an aspiring nun who is sent to act as a governess for the seven children of a strict widower. It opened on Broadway in 1959 and received five Tony awards, and has since been revived numerous times as well as being produced dozens of times in numerous countries around the world. In 1965 a film adaptation was made starring Julie Andrews and winning five Academy Awards.
The Cache
The cache is a snaplock plastic box hidden in Cloon Woods, an area with beautiful views across the Wicklow Mountains. The cache is most easily accessed from the carpark marked in the waypoints (about a 60 second walk away). These woods are maintained by Coillte; please follow their ‘Leave no trace policy’ and be respectful of nature and wildlife while walking here. Please replace the camoflague correctly. The cache should still be fairly accessible in winter and rainy weather but the terrain may be slightly more difficult. Thank you to nabulungi for helping in placing this cache.
Congrats to irishalanl and theswerve for being FTF on this cache!
