Geocache Description:

****NOTE****The co-ordinates above do not take you to the cache.****NOTE****

This cache is a dedication to one of my favorite classic authors and one of the most popular of his writings...The Raven.

The Raven is a narrative poem published by American writer EdgarAllan Poe in the year 1845. It is famous for its eerie supernatural atmosphere, as well as its musicality.

The poem takes place in the narrator's home, where he is reading forgotten lore to try to get his mind off of his lost love, Lenore. He is distracted from his studies by a rapping at his door, so he gets up to see what it is. When he finds no one there, he hears a rapping at his window, and opening it, is surprised by a raven. The narrator questions the raven in his surprise, and is startled to hear it answer "nevermore." Thus begins the night time adventure you won't soon forget.

Our hope is that you enjoy the cache and then delve into the writings of this great author. The raven is definitely a poem we would recommend to friends, along with all of Poe's works. Whether one wants a better understanding of classic American literature of this period, or just a good poem, The Raven is an excellent choice.

To solve this puzzle, all you need to do is read The Raven. If you don't have a
