Geocache Description:

In this age of technology reading is becoming decreasingly popular. This cache may re-introduce you to some great science fiction classics by literary master Jules Verne. The coordinates given are of the entrance of the Ottawa Public Library Nepean Centerpoint Branch and NOT the cache location. Though you may want to head over to the library to help with this cache. The container contains a log-book. BYOP. Good luck.


To find the cache you must first find out the titles of the 2 books written by literary master Jules Verne and replace the coordinate minutes and seconds in DD MM SS.SSSS format by following the given hints and instructions. You will not have to change the degrees. To find the Northern coordinates figure out the book by Jules Verne and follow the instructions. Book title hint: This book converts to 96,560,834 meters under. Replace the northern coordinate minutes with the digital root of the chapter in Part 2 that's LACKING something, then add 15. Replace the northern coordinate seconds with the depth under the Mediterranean travelled in Part 1 divided by 100 before subtracting 8.3764 from it. For the Second book title hint: This book first appeared in Le Temps in 1872. Replace the western coordinate minutes with the chapter number In which Phileas Fogg at Last Reaches London added to 13. Replace the western coordinate seconds with the chapter number In which Phileas Fogg and his Companions Venture Across the Indian Forests added to 0.0372. Once that's done only the cache awaits! Good luck!
