Down an old railway.
There are trails through the area, but could be a bushwacker's special at times. You can start from Spaulding Rd. across from the bike path if you can find a place to park. Sunday's you could park at one of the businesses there. OR, try the other coords given. You may have to exit the brush and railway bed to detour around a business to get to "Another Railway #3". Be careful of the rusty old broken down fenceline through the area. Cache is named after the middle child of the 5BizzyBs. This Cache has absolutely nothing to do with Johnny Cash. But I've added the lyrics to one of his best songs ever. The idea of these Caches is to have a series that are not micros and fun for the kids to find. I know these Caches aren't all that far apart, but due to some of the bushwhacking and zig-zagging around fallen trees, it could take quite a while to get to them all. Container is a small Lock-N-Lock container with small inexpensive trade items, mostly toys. Please, try to Leave something if you Take something. Please, rehide as found. Coords could be a little off due to tree cover. Good Luck and most of all Have Fun. This is, as far as I'm concerned, THE best patriotic/flag song ever written. It could bring a tear to your eye. "Ragged Old Flag" by JOHNNY CASH I walked through a county courthouse square On a park bench, an old man was sittin' there. I said, "Your old court house is kinda run down, He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town". I said, "Your old flag pole is leaned a little bit, And that's a ragged old flag you got hangin' on it". He said, "Have a seat", and I sat down, "Is this the first time you've been to our little town" I said, "I think it is" He said "I don't like to brag, but we're kinda proud of That Ragged Old Flag "You see, we got a little hole in that flag there, When Washington took it across the Delaware. and It got powder burned the night Francis Scott Key sat watching it, writing "Say Can You See" It got a rip in New Orleans, with Packingham & Jackson tugging at its seams. and It almost fell at the Alamo beside the Texas flag, But she waved on though. She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville, And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill. There was Robert E. Lee and Beauregard and Bragg, And the south wind blew hard on That Ragged Old Flag "On Flanders Field in World War I, She got a big hole from a Bertha Gun, She turned blood red in World War II She hung limp, and low, a time or two, She was in Korea, Vietnam, She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam. She waved from our ships upon the briny foam and now they've about quit wavin' back here at home in her own good land here She's been abused, She's been burned, dishonored, denied an' refused, And the government for which she stands Has been scandalized throughout out the land. And she's getting thread bare, and she's wearin' thin, But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in. Cause she's been through the fire before and i believe she can take a whole lot more. "So we raise her up every morning And we bring her down slow every night, We don't let her touch the ground, And we fold her up right. On second thought I *do* like to brag Cause I'm mighty proud of That Ragged Old Flag" |
