The cache is a lipstick-size Bison tube, hidden from obvious view,
containing a log only. Please do not remove the container from the
host object; just unscrew the tube from the secured lid to access
the log.
PLEASE BE DISCREET AND USE STEALTH.
Muggle activity can be very high at times. If that is the case, and
you cannot successfully make the grab without attracting the
interest of curious eyes or looking suspicious, then please try
this one at another time.
Please bring your own pen, and remember to re-hide it back out of
sight. Thanks!

'Centerfield' is John Fogerty's most popular post-Creedence
Clearwater Revival album, containing the hit singles 'The Old Man
Down The Road', 'Rock 'n' Roll Girls', and the title track,
'Centerfield', which has become an unofficial theme song to
America's favorite sport and pastime. Using a technique known as
'overdubbing', Fogerty was able to play every instrument track on
the album himself.
If the music sounds strangely familiar, it's because Fogerty is
working in the same territory as he did in his Creedence days. In
fact, the opening riff of 'The Old Man Down The Road', sounded -SO-
familiar to some ears (much like the Creedence hit 'Run Through The
Jungle') that Fogerty was sued by his former record company for
'plagiarizing himself'. Fogerty ultimately prevailed, when he
showed that the two songs were whole, separate, and distinct
compositions. By bringing his guitar to the witness stand and
playing excerpts from both songs, he demonstrated that many
songwriters (himself included) have distinctive styles that can
make different compositions sound similar to less discerning
ears.
