Geocache Description:


The 1950s featured the rise of blonde bombshells, their beautiful brunette counterparts, method actors, and zany comedians. Musicals and romantic comedies were still wildly popular throughout the decade, but suspense thrillers and dark dramas were also bringing in money at the box office.

The cache is not at the posted location. With the help of Google you can find this teeny tiny DNA tube hanging from a sign post. Love them or hate them, they are what I hide.
