A SERVICE FOR ALL Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Popeteers: We'll archive this one. It hasn't been found in a while and it is subject to rise and fall of the bayou. This has sentimental value as it was our first hide.

Geocache Description:

Geocachers have many and diverse interests. So, for our first cache hide, we decided to do a literary mystery cache.

A poet, beloved to The Popeteers, was born in 1874 and was raised in Liverpool and Glasgow. He emigrated to Canada and eventually to France where he died in 1958. Along the way, he penned many memorable poems and ballads. Below is the first stanza of one of his most famous ballads. Fill in the last line of this stanza to learn the true cache coordinates.

There are strange things done in the midnight sun By the men who moil for gold; The arctic trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold; The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, But the queerest they ever did see Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
