The Rolling Stones released this song on the album Tattoo You, in August 1981. Start Me Up was their last #1 hit. In 1995 Microsoft paid $12 million for the rights to use the song in their Windows 95 advertising campaign. This is our first cache, and it’s bit uphill, hence the name. Hopefully this will be the first in a themed series.
There is a nice view if you walk all the way to the top. This area has a curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Our GPS was kinda bouncy here, we took coords on three different days. The GPS seemed to work better when we walked slowly; also it helped to triangulate.

Was driving along and noticed this cache on my GPS. Sure, I have time for a quickie...at least I hope it will be. After a short search, I found the cache. Thanks for cache in an interesting location.

Howdy from TRAKD  My partner “Brave Sir Robin” and I finished up another day of classes at our conference and headed out to find a few caches. We really needed to stretch our legs with these long days so this was a perfect walk. We spotted the treasure quickly and signed the log. Thanks for the adventure. Cheers

TRAKD and I adventured forth after serving our time at a conference - we needed a caching break. So we strapped on our walking shoes and grabbed a bunch. This was a quick find for us. Thank for the excuse to adventure.

Out caching after Pacific Marathon. Nat Jack found the cache. She looked in the right place while the rest was too high or low.

We had to search lots of spots before we actually found it. it was easily reattachable. Also, the GPS went crazy in some spots.
