In 1975, the Canadian rock trio called RUSH released their third
album, entitled “Caress of Steel.” This five-track LP might have
been a lot more successful if there wasn’t one tiny problem: it had
only five tracks. What does this have to do with the album being a
commercial flop? The last two tracks, “The Necromancer” and “The
Fountain of Lamneth” clocked in at 12.29 and 19.58 respectively.
This meant that radio airplay for this album was pretty much
nonexistent. For that reason, nobody knew about it.
The rest of the album received very little airplay, even though
its tracks were more radio-friendly. The opener, “Bastille Day,”
was the album’s most popular song, once people knew about it.
However, the other well-known song also came to light a while
later, and is the subject of our cache. It was titled “Lakeside
Park.”
This cache is hidden in Martinsburg’s Poor House Farm Park, in
the area of Tuscarora Lake. It’s not Lake Ontario, but it will
suffice. Lake has catch-and-release fishing, trout take limited to
four, all bass caught must be thrown back. Stage one is an offset
found at the posted coordinates. On this plaque are the coordinates
for stage two, a regular sized Lock and Lock container. Stage two
is in a very "specific" spot making it less vulnerable to the
elements. Please replace it exactly as found. Thanks.
Use this key:
A= Last digit of the year of dedication
B= # of lines in the last paragraph (NOT sentences!)
C= A-B
D= A-1

Happy Hunting and Rock On!

P.S.: Bonus points if you can figure out the significance of the
date of hiding!
