Geocache Description:

A cache series based on the locations in the song "I've Been Everywhere" adapted for North America by Hank Snow.
 

The song "I've Been Everywhere" was written by Geoff Mack in 1959 and later adapted for a North American market by Hank Snow.  The North American version included locations not just in the US but all over North and South America and was sung by many people but my favorite version is by the Man in Black - Johnny Cash.

It started like this:
I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road,
When along came a semi with a high an' canvas-covered load.
"If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride."
And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand.
And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"

I think in a lot of ways the song could be about Geocaching too, its taken us to strange places with strange names with many miles between.  If you like, tell us about a cache which took you someplace strange and unexpected.
 
Enjoy the series and its companion series to the south.  If you wish to do the series as a cache run I've included extra logs in this cache and its companion "Oodnadatta" to get you started. Let me know when the spare logs run low.
