The long awaited fifth entry in my songs from Iowa series. Well, maybe not long awaited, per se, but newer nonetheless.
As you can expect, the cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.
One of the cool things I discovered early my freshman year out in Ames was a local station broadcasting Doctor Demento on late Sunday night. Many times I would stay up and listen, or try to stay up and then tape the rest. Mind you this is back in the day when it really was tape and I was lucky to have a dual tape deck that would record in sequence. Add in two 45 minute cassette tapes and I could go to bed by 11:30. I did have morning classes, after all!
There were many MANY memorable tunes from that era, but this one to me sums up the humor and fun and actually had production values. Pretty good ones for the mid-80’s!
Anyway, a simple puzzle to find the hide.
