Geocache Description:

This is my 200th published geocache.

Posted coords are for parking.

In order to find this geocache, you will need to play a game of Name That Tune. These songs were all popular in the 80's and 90's. You will need to figure out the group\singer and the name of each song. I have provided the blanks in the format of group\singer-song name to fill in beside each song. Once you have named these tunes, you will need to answer some questions based on these songs in order to find the geocache. Click on each song link to hear the first 10 seconds of each song. If you need to hear more of a specific song, post your request on the cache page and I might increase the length of the song if people seem to be stuck.
