Geocache Description:


"You Never Even Called Me By Name" was written by Steve Goodman with uncredited assistance from his good friend John Prine. The song was made famous when it was recorded by David Allan Coe and released on his 1975 album, "Once Upon A Rhyme"


Steve was quite proud of the song and bragged to Coe that he had written "The Perfect Country and Western Song". As Coe relates in the song, he told his friend that "it was not the perfect country and western song because he had not said anything at all about

mama, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting drunk."

Steve sat down and wrote another verse for the song and that last verse is why this song is also known as "The Perfect Country and Western Song".

This is a challenge cache. The cache is located at the posted coordinates.

This challenge cache is a tribute to that last verse of "the greatest country and western song" and the objective will be for you to do the following:

  • "Mama" - find 50 caches with the "Stroller Accessible" attribute
  • "Trains" - find 50 caches with the "Public Transporation" attribute
  • "Trucks" - find 50 caches with the "Trucks/RVs" attribute
  • "Prison" - find 50 caches with the " Dangerous Area" attribute
  • "Getting drunk" - find 50 caches with the "Drinking Water Nearby" attribute

Please use the following challenge checker to verify your qualifications. If you do not currently qualify, you may sign the log at any time and post a note on the cache page. Come back later and log the smiley after you qualify.
