Geocache Description:

Music Genre: Hip Hop/Rap

Music Is Life: Mega Series is a series of 20 caches that highlight many different aspects of music such as musical instruments, music genres, music theory and, even, the technical side of music.


Unless you have a boat or can swim really well, you won't be able to get to the posted coordinates. And if you get there, you will find no cache.

Finding the real coordinates of the cache will require a little bit of research. All answers can be found on the Internet.

All caches are located on an easily walkable power line trail. Depending on the weather, rubber boots may be required on a couple parts of the trail.

To find the coordinates for this cache, use the following format:
