A long, long time ago, I can still remember how that music used
to make me smile…
So begins American Pie, a song by Don McLean that was the
#1 chart-topper for four weeks in 1972. The lyrics to the ballad
have been the subject of much debate over the years as fans tried
to interpret the historical events supposedly referenced in the
tune. When McLean was once asked what his famous song means he
replied “It means I never have to work again”. 
Whether you like this classic rock song or not, be ready to
study the lyrics yourself as a requirement to complete this
five-cache series. Located in Trout Brook Preserve, it consists of
four Standard Geocaches located off of the Green,
Blue,
Red, and
Orange trails, each of which contains information needed to
locate the final, a Mystery cache. To complete the full series,
you’ll have gather information from the Standards to figure out
where the Mystery cache is hidden. At each of the Standard caches
you should take notes on two things:
The Number – Each of the four Standard caches in
the series will have a single number associated with it, found on
the inside of the lid. Once collected, the numbers are the missing
coordinates to the fifth Mystery cache – they just have to be put
in the proper order.
The Object – Each of the four Standard cache
containers will have a unique object attached to the top of the
lid. The objects are used to put the coordinate numbers for the
Mystery cache in the correct order.
Take your notes carefully, then go to
American Pie Series: Bonus once you have visited all four
Standards for instructions on how to find the final.
Enjoy! 
Cache Notes:
This cache is mere paces off of the trail, between Markers 31 and
30. There is a trail map dispenser at N41 14.851 W073 20.393, and
‘You are here’ maps are also posted at regular intervals along the
trails. Container is a Lock&Lock about 6x6x4 inches.
