INTRO: I have been reading about geocaches for some time now. Never gave much thought about pursuing a find until my daughter mentioned this new, and seemingly fun, adventure that we could spend time together doing. So, it began. She decided to call ourselves “Team Beatles 15”. I have always been a Beatles fan and through the years she has also learned to appreciate the complexity and creativity that went into the arrangement of their music. (Not to mention that, in our opinion, it is just good listening).
Therefore, we have decided to try some of the same “complexity and creativity” to come up with a series of hides of our own. The above coordinates do not take you directly to the hidden cache, however, you will need to visit them in order to begin your search. There is nothing hidden here, but if you are able to observe your surroundings well enough, you can come away with a hint to a well know song title by the Fab Four. Some will be quite obvious while others may make you think about it for a little while. You will then be able to use information about this particular song to lead you to the nearby final destination of the hidden cache.
VERSE: Anyway, I’m sure that we are not the first team to come up with this idea but we decided to hide a series of caches designed to highlight different song titles from the Beatles vast library. Hopefully they will be as fun for you to find as it was for us to try to be creative enough to keep you interested.
Good Luck, enjoy yourselves, and let us know what you think. . . .
CHORUS: Once you have arrived at the above coordinates, take a good look around at your surroundings. The hint to the song title could be right in front of you or it could be a little inconspicuous. Maybe it is in the form of an address, the location, a road name, a business name, something on a sign, etc. I promise it not to be too difficult and in plain sight but you must have some knowledge of Beatle songs in order to make the connection.
FINALE: Think you have the song title figured out? If not, take a good look for the given street address on the object at the posted coordinates. Add each single digit of these four numbers together for a grand total. Now divide that total by 2. What is the Latin term for this number you have arrived at? Now look at some of the other information on the object. Done correctly and you should have plenty of info to determine the name of the song.
Take the above North coordinates, and subtract the number of letters in the name of the album this song is from.
Take the above West coordinates and add the number of letters in the title of this song, and then add the number of letters in the name of the Beatle who sings lead on this song, now add the number of letters in the name of the album this song is from, and finally, add the number of the day (in September of 1969) that this song was released on.
