Note: no "armchair caching", please: we
believe a player must visit a cache site in person in order for it
to count as a find.
This two-stop virtual cache is for folks who like west Texas
landscapes, ironwork art, and Bob Wills' music. The little town of
Turkey is worth a visit, and if the
hotels
are all full up, you can camp at
Caprock Canyons State Park. Hikers, bikers, and
horseback riders will also enjoy Caprock Canyons' trails, and
geocachers should plan to hunt the Caprock caches,
A Mesa's
View and
Butterflies for Rachel, while they
are in the area.
1) As you arrive in town, take note of the wonderful ironwork
that welcomes you to the town. Every street has a decorative sign.
Go to the coordinates listed above, and look for the iron cutout of
a musician standing on top of a sign. He is wearing boots and
spurs, and he is playing a double bass. Write down or remember
what the musician is. True Bob Wills fans will want to visit
when the
museum is open.
2) Now go to N 34 deg. 23.557 min. W 100 deg. 54.043 min. One of
the panels on the monument lists a number of American Classics.
Write down or remember which one is your own personal
favorite. You will also need to know the hometown of the
artist that designed the monument.
To claim this cache, e-mail us the musician's identity from
Part 1, and your favorite from the list of American Classics from
Part 2. You do not have to wait for us to confirm your find (we
check our e-mail at the library about once a week), so go ahead and
log your visit. However, we will delete any log that does not match
up with an e-mail containing the confirming information.
To open the Certificate of Accomplishment, you will need a
password. The password is thirteen lowercase letters: the hometown
of the monument's artist followed by the six letters that describe
the musician from Part 1, no spaces, no uppercase letters.
To receive the certificate, when you email us your confirmation,
leave the box checked saying "I want to send my email address with
this message". We'll send you the certificate as a Word document
attachment. When you click to open the attachment, a box will pop
up asking for the password to open the certificate. Enter the
password, the document will open, and you should be able to modify
the certificate with your details.
If you are ever in Tulsa during daylight hours, be sure to hunt
the virtual cache
Bob Wills (and his Texas
Playboys).
