If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a big fan of the band Starflyer 59. I've created several puzzle caches about different aspects of the band and obviously they influenced my geonick. I became a fan over 20 years ago when I was 16. One of the amazing things is, even though they are still pretty obscure, they keep releasing music! 

 

Starflyer 59's 15th full length album was released on April 26 entitled, Young In My Head. This release didn't just fly under the radar though. Multiple indie music websites gushed over the album and NPR even included it in their First Listen series. And it truly is a fantastic album start to finish. If you are a fan of indie rock you have to check it out. 

 

The chorus of the title track goes "Now I'm just young in my head / and where do I go to feel like I'm there again?" One of my answers to that is geocaching! It truly makes me feel young in my head! And I'm sure many of you feel that way too. It's one of the many reasons we keep climbing trees, scrambling over rock piles and hunting through the woods for tupperware. 

 

But enough background... on to the puzzle! Since many of my other Starflyer puzzles are harder, I'm going to make this an easy one. The final is a little tricky and so that justifies the DT on this one.

Found it this time. Just wasn't thorough enough on my last visit. Coordinates for GZ dead on after my GPS finally settled out. Well hidden and interesting approach. SL Deserves a FAV.

It's only one of us was smart enough to bring their boots, mr. Edwards headed off to make this fine while mrs. Edwards sat in the car. When he returned to the car after a half hour smiling, I knew he had made the find. He reported that getting to the container site was tricky especially with all the snow on the ground. But he persevered as always and got the smiley. Tftc

Very nice hiding spot. I was glad that a lot of the snow had melted off, but the slope was still a bit icy. Thanks for the puzzle and cache!

At 11:25 AM I finally spotted this cache. If there had been more snow it would’ve been more interesting to get down to where Ground Zero actually is. I did manage to slide down the hill on my butt. I found a better way to get back up afterwards. Thanks for the geocache! I took the travel bug.

So this one was easier to solve than to find. Came over the first time with only my phone and no luck. Came back today with a useful tool (GPSr) and a useless tooooool (FeartheFish) and after some wandering around while the GPSr settled down, made the find. Obviously this one came from the T5M school of hiding. TFTC!
