Geocache Description:

Don’t attempt this cache with the above listed coordinates. The above coordinates pointed to the nearest black dog that appeared after I hid the cache.  To obtain the actual coordinates for the cache, you need to solve the fun music trivia quiz shown below.


This is a regular sized cache (ammo box) located along the Olympia Woodland Trail.  You should park in the Indian Creek Stormwater Treatment Site parking lot at the following coordinates:

N

47o 02.244

Oh ... and the contents of the original cache are (were?) as follows:

1.    Book, "All I Really Need To Know I learned In Kindergarten"
2.    Candelabra
3.    Hot wheels toy
4.    Log book
