Welcome to my newest series of caches. In each of these “Reading is FUN” series, the premise will be the same: solve the puzzle to discover the coordinates to the hidden cache. They will start out easy and the caches will be accordingly small, however, the difficulty (and cache size) will be stepped up over the run of the series and the final cache may or may not require clues gleaned from all the previous puzzles / caches.
HERE IS YOUR TASK, (should you decide to accept it):
A. Find the coordinates for the hidden cache by first reading every book in the series referred to by the clues on this page; (just kidding), it will not be necessary to own, or even have read any of the books in this series.
HOWEVER, I would hope...
1.) You may have already read all/most/some/any of these books.
2.) If you are totally unfamiliar with these books, maybe this will encourage you to read them for the first time.
or
3.) At the very least, to make you more familiar with the archaic art of the written word in print. What a concept!
B. Solve the PUZZLE from the clues given on this page, in particular, below this diatribe.
C. Find the cache.
D. Sign the log.
E. Log your visit.
F. Enjoy a greater appreciation of the world around you, through fine literature.
OK, finally, here’s the clue:
You and two men are walking through the woods. You are accompanied by four Hobbits, an elf and a dwarf. You come across a strange cave that seems to be barred by a large stone with the following inscription:
It must be deciphered in order to enter the cave and find your "precious" treasure.
