Geocache Description:


The given coordinates do not lead to the cache. Read on.

This cache was inspired by our dad's (Facedances') geocoin, which has a quote from a Grateful Dead song on the back. Since Facedances has a collection of over 1200 CDs, we have known all sorts of different music while growing up. This cache is the first in what we plan on being a series of musical artist related caches.

In order to find the coordinates to the cache, you must answer some questions related to the Grateful Dead. You can use your internet skills to locate the correct answers...or ask your local Dead Head! By the way, the "holiday" part of the cache name will make sense when you get to the location. It's a pill fob hanging in a tree.
