Fun and Friendship Set to Music Mystery Cache
CTomGeo: Looks like the gardners recently did some major clean-up in the area and now the cache is missing. Well, it's been out there for 5 years and had a good run, I think. So, I'm archiving this one to open up the area to other interesting caches. Thanks for doing my puzzle cache.

The cache is not at the above coordinates. Search the web for the answers to the following questions to learn its true location.
In addition to being addicted to Geocaching, I consider myself addicted to Square Dancing, something I began doing a few years ago. I actually learned about Geocaching through a fellow square dancer. I thought this might help you develop a little insight into this other wonderful and fun sport.
Although I don’t consider myself a computer geek, I’ve spent many a lunch prior to retiring at the establishment located at the above coordinates. If you go there you won’t find the cache there, but they do advertise the lowest prices, guaranteed.
The actual Fun and Friendship Set to Music cache is within one mile. To obtain the correct coordinates of the cache, answer the following questions. You should be able to obtain all the answers by searching Internet sites.
The cache is located at: N 37 AB.CDE W 122 FG.HIJ
At the actual cache site, there is no need to trample any vegetation, so please don’t. The cache should be accessible from the sidewalk.

I chose the difficulty for this cache because it might take a bit of reading to find the answers buried in web pages.
