Geocache Description:

Please Note: Cache is not at the posted coordinates

But it is just a short walk or drive away. This puzzle cache should be just a little challenging but a quick one nonetheless and is in one of my favorite areas of downtown Yardley. It will also pay tribute to one of my all time favorite poets: The late, great, Shel Silverstein.

In order to get the correct coordinates, you will have to use one of Silverstein's most famous poems (listed below) as well as the partially completed coordinates N 40 Tb.hAn W 74 s0.hWn

Also Note: Only the first two stanzas will be used for this puzzle -- the first for the North coordinates and the second for the West Coordinates. If done correctly, the last line in each of the first two stanzas will be unused. Second line in the second stanza can be skipped as it is a zero.

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Shel Silverstein

**Keep in mind: N 40, W74 and all decimal points are assumed so no need to factor them in when solving the puzzle. This is a dark colored bison tube with room only for a log. BYOP.
