Trail Reader thought that it would be fun to combine the indoors of the library with the outdoors of geocaching. Welcome to her world!
The Dewey Decimal Classification System (DDC) was invented by Melvil Dewey. The DDC categorizes nonfiction books by subject matter into ten main divisions which are then further divided into ten subdivisions. The longer the Dewey number, the more specific the subject matter of the book. The DDC is the most widely used classification system in the world--found in libraries in over 100 countries and translated into over 30 languages.
This is the first Dewey puzzle created to honor the person who started all of the Dewey puzzles in the Monterey Bay Area. Do we know her personally? Probably not. However, we have come to know her by her hides--the type, the container, the placement, the difficulty, etc.
Trail Reader is a great cache owner to cut your novice caching teeth on. She has given me hours of fun whether it was me hunting for her hides of reading her hilarious logs. Her caches range from easy park and grab magnetics, to a brisk walk to hides in sandy dunes, or medium length hikes to hides in local parks, and last but not least my favorite type of hide...her infamous Dewey series. The Dewey series is simple but yet cleverly planned. She has used her librarian skills and combined it with geocaching to bring loads of fun to all!
Geocaching is a give-and-take activity and we all depend on the time, energy, and creativity of cache owners to keep our sport alive. If you have not yet hidden a cache, please consider doing so. To those of you who have, thank you!
In order to solve this puzzle, you do not need to know Trail Reader. By simply using her hide titles, determine the correct coordinates for the cache by classifying each subject in the DDC.
