Crossroads is also a famous blues and rock song:  "Crossroads" was originally written and performed by Robert Johnson (1911-1938) as "Crossroad Blues" in 1936. Other musicians who have recorded versions of the song include Elmore James, Cream, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers, Ry Cooder, The Cowboy Junkies, Rush and John Mayer.  

Legend has it that Robert Johnson met the devil at a crossroads and gave him his soul in exchange for mastery of the guitar. Steeped in mystery, killed mysteriously, his legend eclipsed only by his skill, Robert Johnson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.

Congratulations to JJtheNinja for this, her second FTF in this area today !!

Full lyrics:

I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above, "Have mercy, now, save poor Bob if you please"

Yeah, standin' at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride
Ooh-ee, I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, babe, everybody pass me by

Standin' at the crossroad, baby, risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroad, baby, risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul, now, poor Bob is sinkin' down

You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord, baby, I'm sinkin' down

And I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked East and West
I went to the crossroad, baby, I looked East and West
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well, babe, in my distress

Out today with estes01 to do some short hikes in this area, along with a few 3WK caches. We searched for a while, then a while longer before finally finding it. I looked in that spot a couple of times before looking closer and seeing the cache tucked way in there. Traded out one of the trackables, TFTC!

2TF this morning while out with Geo-pup, Boysie. I could have not done it without her. Had trouble because of the bounce of the GPS. But, who can't find an ammo can? Another good hide by the 3 Williams Kidz. SL , praised the dog, gave her a biscuit and on to the next. Proud Mama.
TFTC.
