Thomas Jefferson - (Hamilton🎶) Traditional Geocache

A tribute series to the musical Hamilton

Hamilton is one of the first musicals composed to draw heavily from the rap and hip-hop music genres. The musical features a bold colour blind casting of white American history. Hamilton has been described as being about “America then” as told by “America now”.

The cache is located alongside a bike path stretching from Caboolture to Elimbah. The path offers easy access to round mountain, saddle back mountain and Elimbah creek. You will find quite a bit of shade, a concrete bikeway, and a nice ride from Autumn to Spring.

JEFFERSON:
‘Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’
We fought for these ideals; we shouldn’t settle for less
These are wise words, enterprising men quote ‘em
Don’t act surprised, you guys, cuz I wrote ‘em

JEFFERSON & MADISON:
Oww

JEFFERSON:
But Hamilton forgets
His plan would have the government assume state’s debts
Now, place your bets as to who that benefits:
The very seat of government where Hamilton sits

HAMILTON:
Not true!

JEFFERSON:
Ooh, if the shoe fits, wear it
If New York’s in debt—
Why should Virginia bear it? Uh! Our debts are paid, I’m afraid
Don’t tax the South cuz we got it made in the shade
In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground
We create. You just wanna move our money around
This financial plan is an outrageous demand
And it’s too many damn pages for any man to understand
Stand with me in the land of the free
And pray to God we never see Hamilton’s candidacy
Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky
Imagine what gon’ happen when you try to tax our whisky
