Geocache Description:


Album Art

Album Art was one of the great creations of the vinyl LP era. Album sleeves were big, colorful, creative canvases for artistic expression that lose some of their impact in the low resolution versions we see on our iPods and smartphones today. And the notion of an album as a cohesive grouping of songs is being lost in an iTunes world where every song can be standalone.

All you have to do to find the cache is familiarize yourself with the following songs:

  • Smells Like Teen Spirit
  • I'm on Fire
  • Red Barchetta
  • Go Your Own Way
  • Purple Rain
  • Wish You Were Here
  • In Your Eyes
  • Don't Fear the Reaper
  • Black Dog
  • Oh! Darling

This puzzle cache can be solved on-site if you like during business hours at the bogus coordinates.
Hint: I was primarily a child of the CD era.

The final location is a micro within walking distance of the bogus coordinates.
Please bring your own pen.

Bonus Smiley: You may claim another find if you post a photo where you do your creative best to recreate a well known album cover. Feel free to use some photoshop for minor effects but please do not just photoshop yourself into an existing album cover. The main aspects of the photo should contain yourself and be of your own creation. Enjoy the fun of posing and recreating a situation and try to appreciate some of the artistic effort that went into the originals.
