Geocache Description:


Here is the third and last of our song trilogy caches and it will take you to a picturesque spot in the Blue Hills Reservation. This adventure has you determining the coordinates in the same way you do for Brave the Elements and Relatively Speaking, by listening to song lyrics and answering some questions.

DO NOT USE THE COORDINATES LISTED ABOVE!

This cache might be considered to be just another box in the woods. We did have some reasons for creating it, however:

1. You will see a wonderful view of Boston from the parking area. Bring a quarter to put in the telescope if you would like an even clearer view.

2. The parking area is also the starting place for BluEyz Cache, one of our other caches that offers a different, but equally beautiful, view of the Boston skyline.

3. There are picnic tables available which gives you a place to have a meal as you discover any of the many caches in the Blue Hills Reservation.

4. We wanted the walk to be a short one to make this a relatively easy cache.
