Geocache Description:


(For an explanation of this series, see the Description of the cache "Bronco".)
Rawhide ran from 1959-1962*. In general it was about a band of cattlemen taking a herd from Texas to the rail head at Kansas. In keeping with the “journey” idea, many of the episodes were simply entitled "Incident at …" , or "Incident of …" .
Rawhide is probably remembered for its theme song, by C&W singer Frankie Laine. It became the most popular of his hit records. The show is also noteworthy for its co-star, a young Clint Eastwood (not Marty McFly, or Mick Dundee … the real one!)
BYOP.  Please roll log tightly and insert into lid of cache before closing.
There’s a bonus cache in this series. Info for coordinates is in the answer to a question on each show’s opening credits (all answers on YouTube).
*TV in USA

A clue some might find helpful ... Keep an eye out for Becky Thatcher and Injun Joe.

Additional comment re parking ... At time of placement, street parking-spots can usually be found on weekends. Much tighter on weekdays. For this end of the series (caches 1-4), I tend to use the car park at Waypoint 1, or Bunnings, and walk from cache to cache. Rodeo Rd can be busy for crossing here, so not great for younger children accompanying.

No "slow 'n steady" for this jackrabbit!! Curliebunny666 had the FTF before I even knew the cache had been published!! Impressively done!

Q 2 As the theme song is played in the opening credits, there are “close-ups” of various actors, either on horseback or in the wagon, interspersed with general cattle-herding shots.
What is the total number of close-up shots? (NB shots, NOT actors in shots)   Call the answer B
