MUSIC NOTES #9
This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates,
YOU will need to solve a simple MUSICAL CODE to find the coordinates!
This cache is one of a series of geocaches placed to form a musical dotted eighth note. There are 22 caches in this series plus an additional cache that puts the dot behind the eighth note. All of the hanging containers match except the dotted cache. Walking to each of the caches is recommended. Total round trip hike will be around 5 miles. Please replace the cache exactly as found and don’t give away the fun of finding this cache in your post. You will need to bring a writing utensil and possibly a TOTT or two. You may encounter some dirt, tall grass, hills, critters, uneven terrain, more hills, lots of rocks, mud, snow, muggles and did I mention a few hills. Hey, at least they aren’t mountains! As always schedule your time and day wisely and bring plenty of water with you. Use caution during hunting season as you are on National Forest Land. There are some nice views of the Magdalena’s from many of the geo-art stops.
In music, a note is a small bit of sound, similar to a syllable in the spoken language. The word note can mean the pitch of a note, in other words how high or low it sounds to the human ear or it can mean the written symbol of the note. Nearly all music is made up of notes. Music without notes might be sound effects.
FUN FACT: In the musical chromatic scale there are 12 notes. Seven main notes A, B, C, D, E, F and G (the white keys on a piano) and five accidentals (sharps and flats) A#/Bb, C#/Db, D#/Eb, F#/Gb and G#/Ab (the black keys on a piano).
