Geocache Description:

Solve the puzzles to get numbers, then enter them to find some wonders!


***4/10/2018: Construction nearby bulldozed the location of this cache, but after completion in 2019, this cache should return.***

***REVISED 6/29/16! The coordinates are indeed accurate within 25 feet, depending on the device and how much obstruction there is, but the clues have been clarified. ***

The answer to each puzzle is a number. Enter that number into the letters below to get the final coordinates!

You'll start out on the sidewalk by the edge of a field. The building you walk toward has posted hours of:

Monday-Thursday 9:00am-9:00pm
Friday-Saturday 9:00am-6:00pm
Sunday 1:00pm-5:00pm

 

A=

Go toward literary terrain
And count the types of animals on the weathervane.


B=

Walk in the building. Perambulate.
Plastic panels guard the gate.
How many are there? Look and see!
The number is for letter B.


C=

Count the LONG labels of video games
With consoles on their sticker names.
Sometimes, the stickers will fall off.
But you’ll still see games within that trough.


D=

Past the computers is a copy machine.
Historical photos can be seen.
“Odd Fellows” are mentioned with a year.
The last digit of that is D. Oh dear!


E=

For the next digit, enter please
The number of drawers LABELED as Blues CDs.
Can’t find them? Well, lucky for you
They’re right across from Rays of Blu.


F=

Down the meeting room hallway, quiet as a mouse,
You’ll find a model of a house.
One room has hats upon a chair.
Now, how many hats are there?


G=

You’ll find computers connected to
The library catalog to go through.
“Gillin” is the author’s name
To search for in the box. And aim
For Gillin’s book’s call number—see?
It’s a decimal system by Dewey.
The end of the number’s the publishing date.
Take the year’s last digit. Now NAVIGATE!

STAY ON THE GRASS, away from cars!
And don't tempt poison ivy scars!
What you'll want to now have seen
Is a storage container, taped in green.
