This is the third in a new series of puzzles, celebrating some of the more obscure or interesting songs by well-known artists. This one comes from early Jimmy Buffet. His less commercial work is a treasure trove of clever lyrics.

The cache is not here. You might park here if you have good karma with the Greenwood Village police. Otherwise, see the Parking Waypoint.

To find the coordinates for this cache, you must extract information from the Jimmy Buffet song "Door Number Three". Not all of the information is found in the lyrics. Some research may be required. Listen carefully. Some lyrics online are incorrect!

The cache is at 39 37.ABC 104 56.DEF.

  • A: Then I ??? until he called on me
    • 0 - grabbed that sucker by the throat
    • 4 - waved my sign in his face
    • 9 - jumped up and down in his face
  • B: I held a big sign that said "Kiss me I'm ???, and Monty I sure need ..."
    • 9 - a beggar
    • 7 - a baker
    • 2 - broke
  • C: This song is was not written by Jimmy Buffet alone. Who was his co-songwriter?
    • 9 - John Prine
    • 5 - Steve Goodman
    • 8 - Arlo Guthrie
  • D: I chose my apparel, wore a ??? barrel
    • 0 - beer
    • 7 - big
    • 4 - wine
  • E: And I don't want what ??? got on his tables.
    • 0 - Jay's
    • 8 - Mike's
    • 3 - Pat's
  • F: I didn't know I'd ??? on daytime TV
    • 4 - spend time
    • 0 - find her
    • 8 - wind up

Extra credit if someone can explain who he is singing about when he sings:
"Well, she's no big deal to most folk.. But she's everything to me".

Worked on this puzzle the other night. Came up with 3 very slightly different versions (including the recording). Went with the 2 answers in discrepancy that I thought I was hearing on the recording but not quite sure. Glad I heard right because I did find a cache container. Beautiful day so the trail was very busy.

Even though I found this one with PayMeCache, I'm still giving it a favorite point.

As I have mentioned previously in logs for some of your other caches, PayMeCache is as deaf as a post. Therefore, he cannot appreciate the lyrical genius that is the subject of this puzzle. I, on the other hand, have seen this man perform multiple times, own over twenty of his albums, and made the pilgrimage to his island paradise ninety miles from Cuba. I am on the fence as to whether or not I will see his new musical, as you can only get so much milk from the same cow.

Needless to say, I solved the puzzle without guidance from Google and foolishly let PayMeCache be a part of the find. I was expecting to find parrot heads in the container, so I hid my disappointment when I noticed that there were none to be found. Thanks for the fun hide and for the musical walk down memory lane. I have included a photo documenting a moment of merriment when I went to witness this lyrical poet in southern California circa 1992. As you will see, I was properly dressed for the occasion.

Catching up on my ridiculous amount of logs that have accumulated for months on end.

I signed a challenge earlier this year that required a large amount of caches to be found and I’m finally at the home stretch. Making a hard push at the end of the month here since weather is in my favor and trying to get this thing wrapped up before years end.

All is well here with the cache and log.
