This is the fourth in a new series of puzzles, celebrating some of the more obscure or interesting songs by well-known artists. This one comes from The Mamas and the Papas, describing the Folk Rock scene in the early 60s and something of how their band came together.

The cache is not here. You don't park here either.

To find the coordinates for this cache, you must extract information from the Mamas and the Papas song "Creeque Alley". Not all of the information is found in the lyrics. Some research may be required. Have fun!

The cache is at 39 35.ABC 104 55.DEF.

My #2483 with David. We were solving a few nearby mysteries, and I could hum the song. I wasn’t sure on some details. I was pretty sure the coords here were right. But we decided to check them in the field just in case. When I copied them from Cachly to the checker, it didn’t like the format. And it didn’t want to edit the field. Very annoying. But I eventually got the green light. As I approached GZ, I saw the container on the ground. I signed log and placed container more appropriately. TFTC.

My second cache of the day. I solved this one a while ago and finally got over here to the final. As I left my truck, I heard the unmistakable sound of humming birds. Sure enough, there was
a bush nearby that had attracted several of these little beauties. Great job with placement and camo. To top it off, after I left, I wandered a little more and found a Yellow Bellied Racer snake.
I didn't even know they were around this part of Colorado. This small park is beautiful!
I had a great day caching today. I saw bees, humming birds, a yellow bellied racer snake, deer, several hawks, and still had time to mingle with my caching friends. TFTC!

Puzzle not too hard to solve. Found the container lying out in the open. While I was signing log I saw another container. Hid the first container and signed log in second container. TFTC!
