Val Cox White GuitarRookie Geocacher – lyrics

(v1)
It all began with an app
I put on my phone
It was a tech hobby
But now it has grown

Once was a skeptic
But now I condone
This behavior
As I set out alone

(chorus)
Who hikes without staying on trail?
Geocachers!
Who seeks Tupperware hidden in the woods?
Geocachers!
Who never leaves home without a pencil?
Geocachers!
Whose goal is to sign in the log?

(v2)
As I hike toward the cache
My phone makes a tone
So I know I am nearing
The treasure zone

I look up in a tree
Then under a stone
I feel an excitement
That begins in my bones

(chorus)
Who hikes without staying on trail?
Geocachers!
Who seeks Tupperware hidden in the woods?
Geocachers!
Who never leaves home without a pencil?
Geocachers!
Whose goal is to sign in the log?

(bridge)
Is it worth climbing fences?
Is it worth stomping through mud?
Is it worth scrapes and scratches?
Is it worth drawing blood?
You’re damn right it is
You’re damn right it is

(v3)
My boots are muddy
My clothes need to be sewn
And all I’ve found
Are some leaves and some pine cones

Today I have failed
And I’ll try not to bemoan
I so want to succeed
But I have to postpone

This epic adventure
I’ll need to atone
Long live Geocaching
And destinations unknown
Destinations unknown
Destinations unknown
Destinations unknown
