Geocache Description:

QUADROPHENIA # 2 -
Is It In My Head?
The cache is not at the posted coordinates - so don't go there! Everything you need to figure out the coordinates is in the colorful information below. Be thorough - you never know what you might find.

This is one of four Quadrophenia caches needed to obtain the coordinates for Quadrophenia BONUS (GC7ACT8) THE QUADROPHENIA BONUS CACHE HAS BEEN ARCHIVED


The Who's rock opera Quadrophenia is the story of Jimmy Cooper - a London teenager who's mind is fractured into 4 separate personalities. Like Jimmy, the Quadrophenia caches also reflect 4 separate personalities:

Traditional - Quadrophenia # 1 - The Real Me (GC7A434)

Mystery - Quadrophenia # 2 - Is It In My Head? (GC7AAWD)

Letterbox Hybrid - Quadrophenia # 3 - 5:15 (CG7ADR5)

Multi - Quadrophenia # 4 - Love, Reign O’er Me (GC7A49P)

It is not necessary to do the caches in order, but the cache descriptions follow Jimmy's journey.


Jimmy's life is a struggle. He finds some comfort in being a Mod, but nothing else feels right. He often fights with his parents, his favorite rock band blows him off and he quits his job. His frustration with everything and everyone makes him angry and bitter. In the song Is It In My Head? Jimmy worries about whether he is the cause of his problems.

I see a man without a problem

I see a country always starved

I hear the music of a heartbeat

I walk, and people turn and laugh

Is it in my head

Is it in my head

Is in my head here at the start?

There are many different ways that something can get in your head. For example, colors often have a subconscious effect on one's perception. Predicting a person's reaction to a color is important to those who try to subconsciously influence others. Marketing professionals try to influence people in that way - the color choice of a brand or product is meant to highlight what a consumer subconsciously feels is most desirable. Look at the 4 colors below. Which color hides what you desire?

Red is exciting, youthful and bold

Blue is dependable and conveys trust and strength***N 40° 48.852 W 073° 12.978***

Green is peaceful and conveys growth and health

Grey reflects balance and is calm and neutral ***lock code = 404***

The cache is located 1/4th from the right end of the guardrail. There may also be a little hint on the guardrail that has 4 familiar parts. Bring a pen and you may need tweezers/pint retrieve the log.
