Geocache Description:

Just a little ways off the bike path.   You will have to get off the path, following an existing trail.

 

There are several literary cache trails in Amherst already.  We decided to start a literary trail dedicated to Czech authors. 

The cache is a largish screwtop pill box, covered in camouflage tape. Please don't give the surprise away in your logs! It's part of the fun.

R.U.R. - Rossum's Universal Robots. A play by Karel Capek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karel_Čapek), a Czech author who was active in the early part of the 20th century.  Contrary to Wikipedia, he was not known primarily for science fiction.   A prolific and imaginative writer, his contributions include short stories, plays and novels. RUR is best known outside of the Czech Republic because it introduced the word 'robot' - derived from the Czech word 'robota' - meaning hard, menial labour.   Check out RUR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.R) and enjoy this writer's incredible imagination and humour.

Congrats to Capt. Bob for FTF!
