It’s not mandatory to listen to The Beatles while searching this series, but you should! 

I know also not Beatles...

"Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" is a song written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, released in 1971 as a single by John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with the HarlemCommunity Choir. It was the seventh single release by Lennon outside of his work with the Beatles. The song reached number 4 in the UK, where its release was delayed until November 1972, and has periodically reemerged on the UK Singles Chart, most notably after Lennon's death in 1980, at which point it peaked at number 2. Originally a protest song about the Vietnam War, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" has since become a Christmas standard, frequently covered by other artists, appearing on compilation albums of seasonal music, and named in polls as a holiday favourite.^[1][2]

Enjoyed the walk and the find. The log was damp and had been wet a number of times before. So I replaced the log inside a fresh baggie. While walking away, a white Toyota RAV4 stopped with its hazards on near ground zero. I stopped up the hill to watch for a minute in hopes that it wasn’t a muggle. They eventually drove away. TFTC!! Cool container.

Found with dispatch on my trip to the Rocky Mountain State.

Super cold day. 

I am so high in the windy sun, 
On the rock-boned back of the highest thing, 
That the mountains under me, every one,
Are but wrinkled gestures . . . westering.
Green-robed those little mountains pass,
Like rabbits under piles of grass.

The undelivered sky, vein-ripped in pain
Of crackled lightning, underneath the skin,
Still holds her throbbing thunder-burden in,
Too drugged to hate or fear or love the rain.

Over the moth-white vapor of hail, clinging the world where the storm had run,
I saw a thousand mountains rise,
Where the sun had let me see but one.

Indigo-slippered, acre-wide,
curving the mountain meadowside,
Walking the silver hill with me ...
I saw you step in the aspen tree.

Thanks for bringing me here.

I rode my bike about 11 miles today finding caches. Some of them were easy, others not so much. Thanks for placing this.
I'm glad I walked across the street for this one as coming back in my truck later would have left me with no place to park and a longer walk.

Stopping for a few caches on my way back to town from Falcon.
