How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

These coordinates are not the coordinates of the final cache (but will get you close to the general area).  That said visitors from a cruise ship should be able to figure the coordinates and still have time to get the final cache and sign the physical log. The cache is very small so bring your own pen and sign small.


The library where these coordinates are may prove helpful in more than one way, but this library isn't necessary to figure out the final cache location (an internet search might also reveal what you're looking for). You may find the attached image helpful in deciphering this message. Enjoy your hunt and also once you have found the final cache, be sure to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells nearby, there are a lot of cool things to take in right around this area.

To find the final coordinates decode this:

Success figuring out the first few words will lead to more success as you decrypt the rest.  Happy hunting! To get started the Key is extremely critical

I'm not a fan of repetition so The coordinates are... also key after you've looked up and used the full book title.

Depending on when you visit the cache there are likely to be a fair number of people around so stealth may be required.
