Geocache Description:

Thirty one Elton John studio albums, thirty one caches, fifteen west of Route 59, and sixteen east of Route 59. This cache is not at the posted coordinates. Use the secret songs in the chart below to determine the coordinates for this cache.

 


Recently, I attended The Million Dollar Piano show at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas by Elton John. This cache will use the secret songs in the sixteen Elton John studio album caches in the chart below. GC6507F The Million Dollar Piano - Ivory Keys will use the secret songs from the fifteen Elton John studio album caches west of Route 59. This cache will also contain the north coordinates for the finale of this series, GC650B8 The Million Dollar PianoSimply fill in all of the secret songs, letter by letter, from the caches below into the chart. Ignore spaces and punctuation when doing so. The order of the caches does not matter. YOU CAN NOW COLLECT THE SECRET SONGS FROM THE CACHE DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL CACHE. The difficulty of this one only applies to gathering the secret songs. The actual cache difficulty would be about a 2. The terrain rating applies to the final location.
