It’s not mandatory to listen to The Beatles while searching this series, but you should!

"The End" is a song by the Beatles composed by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney) for the album Abbey Road. It was the last song recorded collectively by all four Beatles,^[2] and is the final song of the medley that constitutes the majority of side two of the album.

All four Beatles have a solo in "The End", including a Ringo Starr drum solo. Starr disliked solos; he preferred to cater drumwork to whoever sang in a particular performance.^[9] The take in which he performed the solo originally had guitar and tambourine accompaniment,^[6] but other instruments were muted during mixing giving the effect of a drum solo. The additional instruments were restored for a remix on the Anthology 3 compilation album.^[10] The drum solo was also later used at the beginning of "Get Back" on the 2006 album Love.

McCartney, Harrison, and Lennon perform a rotating sequence of three, two-bar guitar solos.^[2][11] The solos begin approximately 53 seconds into the song and end just before the final piano part. Lennon described it in his 1970 interview with Rolling Stone: "There's a nice little bit I played on Abbey Road. Paul gave us each a piece, a little break where Paul plays, George plays and I play."^[12] The first two bars are played by McCartney, the second two by Harrison, and the third two by Lennon, then the sequence repeats.^[2] Each has a distinctive style which McCartney felt reflected their personalities: McCartney's playing included string bends similar to his lead guitar work on "Another Girl" from the Help! album and the stinging style he had first perfected on "Taxman" from Revolver; Harrison's solo incorporated the melodic yet technically advanced slides that were becoming his trademark; lastly Lennon's contribution was rhythmic, snarling, and had the heaviest distortion, echoing his lead work in "Revolution". Immediately after Lennon's third solo, the piano chords of the final line "And in the end..." begin. Then the orchestration arrangement takes over with a humming chorus and Harrison playing a final guitar solo that ends the song.

 

This cache markes the end of the trail on the northern section. Here you can either go back up on the ridge or take the lower trail back.

 

Should be a quick find, but I encourage you to take a break and enjoy the scenery and the wildlife by the pond.

I needed an easy and short day hike, so I came back to the Lincoln Mountain Open Space. I managed to make the find on this one with no drama, other than the rain and hail! While hunting for this one I intentionally advanced my playlist to the RUSH song "In The End" and cranked up the volume! Thanks to the CO for placing this nice cache for everyone to find and giving me an excuse to come back to this area. TFTC.

We weren't listening to anything other than the birds while searching. Great selection for the name. TNLNSL, TFTC.

Enjoying a gorgeous Mother's Day weekend here in Colorado. I didn't realize this open space existed until I saw a cluster of caches in this area on the geocaching map. TFTC!

I'm always afraid of micros in the woods, but this one helped me forgive the sins of past caches. Nice view of the pond and surrounding prairies, which has a few ducks swimming around.

I had hidden a cache along this trail but was waiting to publish it. About the time I was going to do it these came out & I was afraid one would be too close & sure enough this one was less than 100' away. Bummer but at least I retrieved my container. Unlike the last time this happened the new hider had found & used my original container!

It was a bit chilly and windy today but I really wanted to do some caching. I hiked more than 8 miles around Lincoln Mountain Open Space Park and then found a few more on the way home. I made the find here at 3:39:00 PM. Thanks for the cache and for helping make today an even nicer day!
