Geocache Description:

CLUE: Look for ashes where there was never fire. This cache has stilts, but look lower, not higher.

This is one of five caches hidden by Liverpool Public Library. All five caches are easy to access and are on level terrain. It is NOT necessary to wade or walk on jetties that extend into the lake to find these caches. To do so is against Onondaga Lake Park regulations.

This cache is an official, labeled geocaching.com plastic box. It measures 5x8 inches and is 3.5 inches tall. The cache contains a logbook and several small trinkets to exchange. It was originally placed with a Travel Bug.

The Liverpool Library’s geocaching project is funded by a grant from the Onondaga Lake Partnership. Find all five Liverpool Library caches by 7/22/12 to be entered in a drawing to win a family cruise on the Erie Canal, courtesy of Midlakes Navigation, Co.

You can borrow a Geocaching Kit from Liverpool Public Library that contains a handheld GPS device with instructions. To check one out, all you need is a library card. Alternatively, you can sign a library Geocaching Kit out at the Onondaga County Parks Administrative Office located on the east end of Onondaga Lake Park, 106 Lake Drive.

This cache is dedicated to the memory of Ann Alger. Besides being a good friend of Liverpool Library, Ann was a schoolteacher, a quilter, a world traveler, and a humble humanitarian. She lived in the village of Liverpool, NY. Upon being diagnosed with cancer in the spring of 2009, she made a commitment to use the rest of her time creating quilts to be “gifted” to nonprofit community organizations of her choosing for future fund raising. Liverpool Library and its sister library in The Gambia, West Africa were recipients of quilts from her Quilts4Charity project. Ann finished her 41st quilt in the collection just weeks before her death on April 19, 2011. The library is honored to be a part of her legacy.
