"When I'm Sixty-Four" is a song by the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney^[3][4] (credited to Lennon–McCartney) and released in 1967 on their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

The song is sung by a young man to his lover, and is about his plans of growing old together with her. Although the theme is ageing, it was one of the first songs McCartney wrote, when he was only 16.^[3] It was on the Beatles playlist in their early days as a song to perform when the amplifiers broke down or the electricity went off.^[5][6] Both George Martin and Mark Lewisohn speculated that McCartney may have thought of the song when recording began for Sgt. Pepper in December 1966 because his father turned 64 earlier that year.^[5][6]

Awesome puzzle cache! Lol! Stamped the fresh new log today while out with Qaz!

We replace the container at the final location as it looks like the hide at the GZ was cut down. How bizarre! It is good to go now !

We dug deeply all around what remains of what would appear to have been the beacon but couldn't come up with anything cache related.

Fun puzzle, I needed help as usual. Came by to sign the log today while out running last minute errands. The container is very visible due to the thing providing the cover being gone. TFTC.

I had to come up to Colorado Springs today to pick up a new pair of eye glasses. I decided to "test" the glasses by hunting for some of the many puzzles I have solved in the area. I wish I had been keeping notes on puzzles that I solve. Looking at this now I have no idea how I solved it. Anyway, when I pulled up I saw I was SIXTY FOUR feet from from the cache. I took that as a good omen--and it was. I spotted this one from 10 feet away, quickly signed the log, tucked it back, and covered it with just a bit of natural camo. The container and log are in good condition. Thanks...From Me to You.

gamma remembers her basic math and gampa is a math teacher, but that didn't help gamma AT ALL with solving this puzzle cache. In fact, the hint and cache name seemed to confuse more than help. gamma deduced most of the coordinates and then guessed at the last. Green light! Whatever is takes sometimes......

The find was quick, though the hidey-hole was not what we expected. Hope it stays safe there. Signed log. Thanks for another mystery cache to add to our count!

BTW, gampa IS 64 and gamma still needs him :O)
