don't-fence-me-in

LoriDarlin is selling one of my "mystery" coins to help raise money for River Cacher's family. Thank you Lori!!

drneal, we are so very glad that you have one of our coins!

Been a long while But we are back with style Leavin' gifts in caches again And in mail boxes of tin We have a few coins left to gift So through recommendations we shift There's folks who inspire us to grin Or to sing "Don't Fence Me In". --- Wild Cat Kelly ---

Howdy !! We purty much been busy with out dawgies of late but when we passed through Providence Utah t'other day we just could not resist leaving a coin at the Forgotten Corral. Now ordnairly we be tellin the cache owner we been by and we did, but seeins how they taint been on this here site since long about July we figgered that we oughta let coiners know we dropped one of our coins. It's a tricky little cache but not so much ya cant figger it out purt near right away. Starry Skies, Wild Cat Kelly

Well said Bunny!! We added the bold part because that is the part that sticks in our craw. Circumstances change, winds blow a different direction, you just never know. So we plan on taking a breath when someone sells our coin. That just ain't the first thing that occurs to us cowboy types. Thanks for the fun!

You are very very welcome! We are glad to be able to give a few coins away. It is a fun thing! Lots more fun than following cows around !!

Just for Mrs. Derschling... Wild Cat Kelly, lookin' mighty pale, Standin' by the sheriff's side; When that sheriff said "I'm takin' you to jail," Wild Cat raised his head and cried: Oh, give me land, lots of land Under starry skies above, Don't fence me in. Let me ride through the wild open spaces that I love, Don't fence me in. I want to be by myself in the evening breeze- Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees, Send me off forever, but I ask you please, Don't fence me in. Just turn me loose, And let me wander over yonder Where the purple mountains rise. On my cayuse, And let me straddle my old saddle Underneath the western skies. I want to ride to the range Where the west commences, Howl at the moon till I lose my senses, I won't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences, Don't fence me in.

We are so very glad you received it ! Ever since they got rid of the Pony Express, we worry about mail getting to its destination!

GREAT PICTURES !! Thank you for sharing them

Folks are funny! and innovative!!! Now don't do that !?! Aren't there enough constraints in life ?!? We'll get out travelling again soon, even to the post office, we promise. Starry Skies, Wild Cat Kelly

A moment of silence for a muggled mystery coin. We left a coin in a Seattle area cache last week because we liked the cache and because we like blackberries. The cache was muggled and left for dead. Hopefully someone somewhere is enjoying the coin.

We are so sorry for not responding. We did not mean to be rude!! We just have a horse and wagon, no fairy wings so we are slower than average getting our coins out. Have fun caching and be patient !! Starry Skies, Wild Cat Kelly (DFMI)

Yep, the contest is over. Seems like it ended almost before it started! I was shocked at how fast it went! Thanks to all who entered. I learned about new people and their songs.

57Chevy and Damenace, Send us your mailing address and we will get your coins in the mail to you!!

yeah yeah yeah.... we didn't think we were that young... bones don't feel so young off to go caching!

DING DING DING !!!!

No correct answer yet, but lots of good guesses!

please, one song title guess at a time, even though we didn't say that in the original post..

Ding Ding Ding on Mary McCaslin and I gotta say, I thought this was going to take LOTS longer !!!

Wow, we are learning about all kinds of people. Meredith Brooks has fun kids songs. Now on the investigate the next new person!

Excellent song; Willy Nelson's recording was good too. No, this isn't a hint, just a reply!

Maybe we'll hold off on caching for a bit. This is fun!

Correct gender for #1

You are on the right track!

We promise to post hints later, but want to give people some time. Now we are going out caching! See you later!
