I'm a huge Elvis Presley fan, have been ever since I was a little girl. When I was thinking of putting a series of 50 caches together, it came to mind to use Elvis Presley song titles for the cache names. As you're searching for each cache, try to sing the song it's named for, I bet you'll know most of them:-)
I had planned on placing all 50 of them around Lohi Lake but ran out of room so had to continue on another road after placing as many as I could around that lake. Please be careful and pull off to the side of the road as far as possible and be cautious when getting out of your vehicle. All caches will be just a few meters from the road and you will be looking for camoed containers...vial shaped and square or round Lock n' Lock. You will also notice that in one area I didn't hide any caches for over a km, due to many cottages near the road. I hope you enjoy this series as much as I enjoyed putting it together!!! (Thanks to Flashattimmies for helping me place all the caches!)
Please be advised that if you're using your smart phone as your gps, there will be some areas where there is no reception. If you're using a GPS itself, then you'll be fine.
#1..."All Shook Up" is a song recorded by Elvis Presley and published by Elvis Presley Music and composed by Otis Blackwell and Elvis Presley. The single topped the U.S. Pop chart on April 13, 1957, staying there for eight weeks. It also topped the R&B chart for four weeks, becoming Presley's second single to do so, and peaked at #3 on the country chart. It is certified 2X Platinum by the RIAA. It was ranked #352 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Blackwell wrote the song at the offices of Shalimar Music in 1956 after Al Stanton, one of Shalimar's owners, shaking a bottle of Pepsi at the time, suggested he write a song based around the phrase "all shook up".
Elvis himself, during an interview on October 28, 1957, said: "I've never even had an idea for a song. Just once, maybe. I went to bed one night, had quite a dream, and woke up all shook up. I phoned a pal and told him about it. By morning, he had a new song, 'All Shook Up'."
On January 12, 1957, Presley recorded the song at Radio Recorders in Hollywood. Take 10 was selected for release, and in March the song entered Billboard's Top 100 chart at #25. Within three weeks it had knocked Perry Como's "Round and Round" off the top spot, and stayed there for eight consecutive weeks. The song also became Presley's first UK #1 single, remaining there for seven weeks. Sales of the single exceeded 2 million, and the song was named Billboard's Year End number one song for 1957.
