This is my first themed cache. It is intended to be a trading post for
books that have been registered at BookCrossing.com, but of course any types of books are
welcome. Registering your books allows you to track them as they pass
from person to person, or from cache to cache. I'd rather people not
leave other types of items in this cache, so if you aren't interested in
trading books, please feel free to visit the cache and just sign the
logbook... but don't leave anything other than books in the cache.
You should start near N39-44.420 W82-42.298 - on the west side of the
park. You will see a sign that informs you that hunting and fishing are
allowed in this park, but there are many well beaten paths through the
park - and I think most people around here are smart enough not to shoot
something that is walking on two legs.
These are the books from my
bookshelf that I originally left in the cache:
(Please review the cache
logs to see which books have been traded)
Each book was sealed in a ziplock baggie to help protect them from the
elements. When you trade, don't take the baggie. Please be careful at
the actual hiding spot - there's a lot of sharp rusty stuff there, and I'd
appreciate it if you re-hide the cache well. One small hint, you don't
have to follow the trail that your GPSr will be suggesting - there are
multiple paths to the hiding spot.
I believe the hiding
spot offers a bit of cover from the rain, but if you find this container
filled with water - please let me know so I can either find a better
container, or at least take something out to the spot so that it can be
better covered. I've actually made some drainage holes in the bottom of
the container, but I'm not sure whether that is going to help or hurt,
really.
