Although this looks similar to a cache you may have done before, think again. This one is much harder (it IS a 5 you know!). Good luck...
This is a puzzle geocache as well as an unofficial Travel Bug Spa. The posted coordinates will lead you to the front door of Keene Memorial Library. Once inside, you'll need to solve several puzzles that will eventually lead you to a cache with log book & items for trade. Please continue reading below to find out where to start.
*Congrats to TeamDAAK, roblyobly, LadybugLisa & SuperSparx for FTF. Way to hang in there!*
Geocache Is Only Available During Business Hrs:
Mon-Thu | 9:30 am - 8:30 pm
Fri-Sat| 9:30 am - 5:30 pm
Sun | 12:30 pm - 4:30 pm
(Closed on most holidays)
You should allow at least 3 hrs (a minimum of about 1.5 hrs) to solve the puzzles (depending on your knowledge base). You don't want to attempt to find this too close to closing time. The T rating is based on the number of stairs you will have to climb (& descend), & for having to stoop, twist & bend while moving from clue to clue. Tempting as it may be to try to skip ahead, you must complete ALL the clues. If you stumble upon any clues out of order, please fill in the missing ones before moving on. You never know what you might've missed!
You will need a pen and paper to write down & solve clues along the way Please DO NOT REMOVE the clues. Some are in hard-to-see locations. Please leave intact for the next geocacher!
Internet searches & Smartphones are your friend. You are welcome to access our computers using your library card or by obtaining a guest pass from the circulation desk. You may also access our free WiFi using your own device. If you get stuck, the librarians can render some assistance.
Once you are reasonably sure you are at the start location, look up, down, underneath, inside, behind for your next clue. You may explore the library, look around, and examine things, however please be respectful of others and your surroundings. Always be careful when handling library materials; we don't want to wear out our welcome by causing damage. Covered drinks are welcome in the library, but food is not.
This is an "Authorized Library-Placed Geocache." Thank you to Janet Davenport, Director at KML, for allowing this placement. Also, a special thanks to S. Morrill for allowing us to use his details page as a template for this, our first cache. To find caches of a similar style, see the "OPL" series by OmahaLibrary.
