Geocache Description:


Many of you are familiar with the movie The Sound of Music, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. At a recent orchestra rehearsal, I was fascinated by a chart on the wall of the music room where we rehearse, and decided to make a mystery cache based on one of the most popular songs from the movie.

On 4/13/22, I moved the cache to a safer location, which is close to the posted coordinates. If you have solved the puzzle before then, you will have to rework the puzzle.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but this is a good safe place to park and you have a short walk to the cache. The cache can be found at N44 28.ABC W72 43.DEF, where

A = "A name I call myself"
B = "A drop of golden sun"
C = "A long, long way to run" + 5
D = "A needle pulling thread"
E = "A drink with jam and bread"
F = "A deer, a female deer" - 1

The container is a micro, should be winter friendly. BYOP.
