Eight Track Tape Day

When : Always April 11th

Eight Track Tape Day brings back fond memories of the sixties and seventies.

During this era, eight track tapes ruled the music world.

America's love of the automobile, was a driving force in creating the demand for musical cassette formats.

For those who grew up in this era, an eight track tape player in your home and your car was an essential.

It was eventually replaced by cassette and other formats for storing music.

Eight Track Tape Day is a day to bring back fond memories of the sixties and seventies.

If you still have tapes and a player, by all means enjoy the day listening to some great music.

If not, just spend a few minutes looking back in time to when you loved your eight track tapes!

Did you know?

Eight track tapes were created by the jet maker William Lear

Staying the night in the area and saw that there were quite a few caches in the area so I spent a few minutes grabbing some. Thanks for the cache!

Oh the attraction of a souvenir to a geocacher!! Curse you geo marketing people for doing your job so well. Evidently this great adventure has been going on for weeks, but in true form PayMeCache waits until the 23rd hour to call me up and say “let’s do this”….so we did. We knew we wanted to crank it out, so the plan was to hit an area concentrated with easy finds, unfound by both of us. Well we all know about best laid plans….our first couple of hours had their struggles, but the good news is if we weren’t quickly finding geocaches, we were laughing until it hurt and enjoying the adventures the universe was throwing at us. We eventually got our groove on and cranked out 80 or so finds for the day. My one piece of advice when caching just south of the airport….stop to watch the planes fly over. It was an amazing experience and the best part for me was watching the HUGE plane shadows sailing over the fields and right over our heads. TFTC

The things we do for silly souvenirs...

I took a day off to try and bag as many of these souvenirs that I will forget by tomorrow. That being said heh324 joined forces and is chauffeuring us around. The heat is exhausting but we are getting through it one by one.

Found GC2R1WD - April 11~Eight Track Tape Day on July 20, 2018 using Cachly for iOS.

Some may call me seriously mentally ill. Some may state that I am in a state of mind that prevents social interaction. Some may say I am in a state of mind that prevents normal perception and or behavior. I prefer to say that I tend to do the same thing over and over again, but I expect different results. That being said, I believe we only live one life and I am trying to make the best of it. I thank you, poolsharkycat for placing a fun geocache to fuel my "insanity" or addiction as I call it. I appreciate you bringing me here so that I can try and sign my alias on a piece of paper that you have hidden.

I look forward to finding more of your geocaches. I also look forward to potentially finding geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our insanity... I mean hobby or addiction? Cheers!
