Geocache Description:

I was playing this one like a carnival game...Seeing how close I could get to the center of geocaching.com’s search for zip-code 55318. Turns out the center is in a cornfield. Go figure! By my reckoning, I got within 425 feet. (Results: 251 feet - w00t!)
You should have an easier time getting there than I did, knowing that in Griep Park, there's maze of trails and paths, and that no creek, ravine, or barbed wire need be crossed.

The terrain rating is based on you taking the wrong paths.
Contains small trading items.


Life Is A Carnival
by The Band,

You can walk on the water, drown in the sand
You can fly off a mountaintop if anybody can
Run away, run away--it's the restless age
Look away, look away--you can turn the page

Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
Life is a carnival--believe it or not
Life is a carnival--two bits a shot

Saw a man with the jinx in the third degree
From trying to deal with people--people you can't see
Take away, take away, this house of mirrors
Give away, give away, all the souvenirs

We're all in the same boat ready to float off the edge of the world
The flat old world
The street is a sideshow from the peddler to the corner girl
Life is a carnival--it's in the book
Life is a carnival--take another look

Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
Life is a carnival--believe it or not
Life is a carnival--two bits a shot.
