Geocache Description:

This cache is part of my Irishon series, where every cache has something to do with Irish music :)

did you know? the Rishon Lezion flag is orange

I love Irish music, I love geocaching - why not both


"Peggy Gordon" is a Canadian folk song that has become popular in many English-speaking countries. As a folk song it was first collected in the 1950s and 1960s in Canada. The song tells a story of a man who is madly in love with a woman of this name and how he longs to be with her.

(Wikipedia)

"CANADIAN?! the Celtic versions (High Kings, Dubliners , Chieftains) sounds so much better!

And you can't ignore the coincidence - 

Gordon is an Irish (originally Scottish) last name spelled Górdún.

On the other hand, the street was named after A.D. Gordon who came from eastern Europe, with an originally-Russian name, spelled Гордон!

The cache must live, against all odds! (or in other words, don't confuse me with facts)"

The container is hidden next to a very popular park where the local (and the oldest in the city) Scout tribe ("Sorek") is holding most activities - so the park is crowded on Tuesday and Friday afternoons - beware from muggles! anyhow, the cache can be easily grabbed and placed without any scout boy/girl noticing ;)
