This cache is the successor to our first “We Love Libraries” Cache, which we archived to make room for newer caches. We love libraries! What a great place to spend a few hours on a rainy day. Home base for tessandfriends is the Saline District Library. It was recently expanded and renovated and is a fantastic facility. Come visit our library and see if you can find the easy cache hidden along the nearby trails with the permission of the Library Director.

Library Hours:
Monday - Thursday 9 am - 9 pm
Friday & Saturday 10 am - 5 pm
Sunday 1 pm - 5 pm

In order to find the cache, visit the Library and determine the answers to the following questions:

There is a display of marionettes inside the library. According to the display, in what year did the creator of these marionettes retire? Add together the four digits of the year – this is A.

In the Saline Historical Room, find a framed print showing a “Birds Eye View of Saline” – what year is depicted in this print? Add together the four digits of the year – this is B

Multiply A times B and add the product, in the format 0.XXX, to both the N and W coordinates of the following location:

N 42 10.270 W 083 46.211

The cache is located just off of one of the footpaths in the eleven acre wooded area south of the library. Don’t be confused by the Letter Box hidden in the same general area. Poison ivy is abundant in these woods, but if you stay on the footpaths you should have no problem.

The First to Find award goes to geoconsumer on 05/12/2010
