Geocache Description:


"Take the last train to Clarksville And I'll meet you at the station
You can be be here by 4:30 'Cause I made your reservation
Don't be slow Oh, no, no, no"
 ...stuck in your head now? GOOD! hahaha

Other than a loose connection to the general location there is no other relationship of the name of the cache. This cache is a redo of THIS GEOCACHE (GC59QG0) but location has changed (previous not available). 

Yes, this is named after the Monkee's song released in 1966. However, feel free to share your favorite song or movie RELATED TO TRAINS/RAILROADS (not required). I'll list ONE of your choosing below (mine, different than cache title, is listed already).

Cache itself is small, but not a nano. While I wish I could have added a larger cache with a log book large enough to write more than a signature...but not this time (or at least not yet). The container is marked with sharpie. 

NOTE: Parking is a little tricky. There is a weird 'one way' configuration to gain access to the lot at the Amtrak station (closest legal free parking). I put waymarks but that might seem overly confusing by itself. Just know you have to enter from westbound Twiggs St. from under the overhead highway.

There are some restricted areas. Cache is NOT in any restricted area nor at all part of the highway overhead (not accessible from highway).  It is easily accessible in a very public spot and depending on time of day don't have to be super stealthy.

And just for a little interactive fun; everyone gets to pick ONE song or movie (train or railroad related) and I'll compile a list of favorites and add it right here on the cache page (again, not required). Of course you can mention as many as you wish in your log, but make sure I know which one you want to list as your favorite. This is all for fun too, and in no way endorses or promotes any artist, company, etc. Links to outside sources not geocaching related I believe are forbidden (I know they are in the cache listing).

Finder's Favorite List:

  • Midnight Train to Georgia - Glades Knight and the Pips (TheWeatherWarrior)
  • Silver Train - The Rolling Stones (l2w)
  • Canadian Railroad Triliogy - Gordon Lightfoot (Yori101960)
  • Chattanooga Choo Choo - Glenn Miller and His Orchestra (Tilly1930)

Some have mentioned movies too:

  • Plains, Trains, and Automobiles (Phetch)
