Geocache Description:


The stunning SIXTH in my Songs From Iowa series.  This one even took me by surprise but going down memory lane will do that to you.

As is the case with this series, the cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, although it's a cool place for one if there weren't so many mystery hides nearby! Wait, those are all mine...

Anyway, back in the 80's there was a "new" thing of putting recent music into television shows, and Miami Vice was one of the shows doing that.  Imagine my shock when this song wandered onto the screen.  Not only was this a new experience for me but for all of the groups and songs they could have chosen this seemed WAAAAAAAY out of left field.  Sure, as a good child of the 70's I love the group but they didn't have that many hits.  Still, it's well in keeping with this series!

Final coordinates are:

N 41 44.???

"Guardian angels watch..."

Over the deep - 844

Waiting to keep - 811

People like sheep - 492

Stopping our leap - 736

W 088 29.???

"Secrets for keeping that..."

Put up a fight - 416

Won't see the light - 337

Show what is right - 729

Kept close and tight - 083

 

As a bonus, Antoni Gaudi didn't have a hand in designing the building near the final.  Good on you if you know why this matters.
