Real Gone | Top Of The Hill Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

seldom|seen: Putting one of my many maintenance challenging series to bed. This series contains some of my earliest puzzle creations, foreshadowing the plethora of S|S creations to follow.

As the years have progressed and my time and zeal for the sport has wained, so has the experience of the active geocache community, particularly when you work so hard to solve these puzzle and are then meet with unfulfilling and often unmaintained physical finals.

As tough as it is to let these go when I reflect on time and energy invested for the benefit of those who appreciated the same, I do have to accept that the experience created out of necessity to place a physical final (90% of my caches would be virtuals, if they were allowed to be) has soiled the experience once associated with finding log sheets to sign.

The S|S flag has been at half mast for a good half decade and it's time to take it down out of respect for the community. Thanks for finding these and your wonderful logs. This is the beginning of a long painful archiving process for hundreds of caches and I appreciate your patience and I put many to bad and ferret out those that I can continue to monitor and maintain.

If anybody is eager to adopt a series, feel free to PM me.

Geocache Description:


There's very little leeway
I seen a mattress on the freeway
The moon rises over Dog Street
Jefferson said not every thing's reet
Have all the lights burned out on heaven again
I'll never roll the number 7 again

I'm made of bread and I'm on an ocean of wine
I hear all the birdies on the phone just fine

Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
I'm only goin'
I'm only goin'
I'm only goin' to the top of the hill



For my first set of caches I decided to take a favorite album of mine and create a topical cache for each song on the record The album is Tom Waits: "Real Gone" and there are 16 songs on the album. Each cache will have something to do with the contents of the lyrics or title of the song and some may be puzzle caches.

Cache is located near Pierce Park and is generally easy to get to. Access is by well worn trails although they are challenging in some places and there is some overgrowth to manoeuvre around depending on approach.

This one is my son's first cache as well and to get the ball rolling it's just a straight-forward cache. Naturally, we stocked it with a bunch of kids goodies, initially. The cache has since been reduced in size for better concealment.
