Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the listed coordinates.




This is an easy park’n’grab for anyone travelling from Duluth to, well, maybe Zim. Or Payne or Kelsey.

Like its counterpart in Philadelphia, Independence Hall is a symbol of democracy in action, where virtually dozens of citizens exercise their right to vote on the pressing issues of the day (how many times a year SHOULD Earl mow the cemetery?).

To provide the coordinates to this cache, I’ve taken some liberties with Liberty, a classic old-time fiddle tune. The tune, unlike the cache, is square, and, like most old time music, speeds up with repeated playing.

I am by no means a professional musician, so I ran this by my friends with musical training. They all agreed that I can’t write music. And, no true old time musician would ever play anything in ‘F’.

The cache is medium sized and will fit small trade items. The initial contents are a Sacagawea coin, and a number of liberty-themed items, guitar picks, and the usual assorted trinkets.
