The cache is not at the posted
coordinates. Solve the following puzzle to learn the true cache location.
Musicross is a photo-based online crossword puzzle using the
CrossCache utility, authored by computer science professor
lesdubois and written specifically for geocaching puzzles.
Rather than words for clues, the puzzle uses photographs. Each photo is
intended to bring a song title, or in a few cases, an album title, to mind. The ideas and
photos are (mostly) original. That means you should expect some
groan-inducers!
The songs are largely classic rock and pop from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Most
were major hits and are well known. Thus, the puzzle is likely to be
easier for those with a long involvement with the music of these periods.
If you know such a person, now is the time to bake them a big, beautiful cake!
Don't include any punctuation in your answers. Expect word tricks such as
anagrams, rhyming words, etc to be used.
Begin the crossword by using the link below.
When you have correctly answered all the questions, you will be given a solution phrase
and a direct link to automatically pass the phrase to the Checker. Simply
click the link and paste (Ctrl-V) the phrase which will then provide the coordinates of the geocache. You can also click this
Checker link to see how many of your friends have beaten you to the solve!

The
hints include numbers that indicate both the number of words and the number of
letters in each word. A clue of "5/2" indicates a five-letter word
and a two-letter word. This is followed by the year the song or album was
released.
Enjoy the puzzle and the beautiful, short hike!
