Load your closest 12 geo-friends in a van and cache the entire state in 24 hours. Attend your closest event and meet cachers from across the state as they travel to you. Pick an event in another corner of the state and meet new friends, see new places, and find a few new caches. There is never a shortage of caching tales (or caching tall-tales) at an event – hear a few and make of few of your own on the way! The first event starts at 0001 and the last event ends at 2359. Grab a friend (or two) and make as many of the stops as you can. There is no limit to the amount of fun that you can have traveling the state of Minnesota!

Magical Mystery Tour
The song is credited to Lennon–McCartney, though written primarily by Paul McCartney. McCartney said it was co-written. John Lennon said, "Paul's song. Maybe I did part of it, but it was his concept." In 1972, Lennon said, "Paul wrote it. I helped with some of the lyric." The remaining lyrics explain in a general way the premise of the film: a mystery tour of the type that was popular in Britain when the Beatles were young. Lennon and McCartney expanded the tour to make it magical, which allowed it to be "a little more surreal than the real ones."
There are also other interpretations of the song as an explicit reference to drugs, since the Beatles were experiencing acid in those years. Paul McCartney himself said about the song:
"Because those were psychedelic times it had to become a magical mystery tour, a little bit more surreal than the real ones to give us a license to do it. But it employs all the circus and fairground barkers, 'Roll up! Roll up!', which was also a reference to rolling up a joint. We were always sticking those little things in that we knew our friends would get; veiled references to drugs and to trips. 'Magical Mystery Tour is waiting to take you away,' so that's a kind of drug, 'it's dying to take you away' so that's a Tibetan Book of the Dead reference. [...] Magical Mystery Tour was the equivalent of a drug trip and we made the film based on that."
