Geocache Description:

**  DO NOT GO TO THE LOCATION VISIBLE ON THE MAP  **

You must solve the puzzle for the container coordinates.


***CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!**

 

You won't need to read any of the books in the Jacky Faber series to solve the puzzles in this cache series. A simple search will answer all the questions, which are related to many of the factual places and events the author, L.A. Meyer, used.

 

Wild Rover No More

 

This is a song that Jacky sang many times, both with friends and as a solo act... but then... she sang so many songs.  That’s not why it’s the name of the end of her epic story.  After covering most of the globe, it was time to settle down… one way or another…

 

There are several words in this centuries-old tune that only appear once.  They are shuffled a bit in the list below.  Put them back in the order in which they appear, to find your final coordinates.  The tenth is 0.

 

Wild Rover No More

I've been a wild rover for many's the year

I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer

But now I'm returning with gold in great store

And I never will play the wild rover no more

 

And it's No, Nay, never,

No, nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover,

No never no more

 

I went into an alehouse I used to frequent

And I told the landlady me money was spent

I asked her for credit, she answered me nay

Such custom as yours I can get any day

 

And it's No, Nay, never,

No, nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover,

No never no more

 

I took up from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright

And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight

She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best

And the words that you told me were only in jest"

 

And it's No, Nay, never,

No, nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover,

No never no more

 

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done

And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son

And, when they've caressed me as oft times before

I never will play the wild rover no more

 

And it's No, Nay, never,

No, nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover,

No never no more
