*This cache is not located at the posted coordinates, but is very close*
Welcome to the JCLS - Medford Branch multi-cache! This should prove to be a simple multi-cache that will reward those who complete it with a nice, shiny smiley :) As with any cache please excercise caution and care when approaching, retreiving and replacing the cache container.The cache will consist of two waypoints that will each give you half of the information to solve for the final coordinates. The final hiding place of the cache may only be accessed when the library is open, so please be sure to check the hours below before attempting.
- Library hours:
- Sunday: 12:00 - 4:00 pm
- Monday: 10 am - 7:00 pm
- Tuesday: 10 am - 7:00 pm
- Wednesday: 10 am - 7:00pm
- Thursday: CLOSED
- Friday: 12:00 - 4:00 pm
- Saturday: 11 am - 4:00 pm
This cache is placed with permission from the library and they both support and are aware of the cache. As the final is located inside the library building, there is no night caching allowed.
Stage 1 of this multi will take you outside the library on 9th Street where you will be able to find a quote on the wall by Andrew Carnegie. To get the first half of the information needed, please solve the following questions:
A: Number of words in the 2nd line
B: Number of words in the 4th line, divided by 2
Stage 2 of this multi will take you to another quote outside the library, this time on S. Central Avenue, attributed to Makeda Queen of Sheba. To solve for the second half of the information needed, please answer the following questions:
C: Number of words in the first 3 lines
D: ____th Century B.C.
With the information garnered from the 2 stages, you'll now need to piece it together and search for the cache container. You're going to make a trip inside the library and seek out the UPSTAIRS LOCAL HISTORY section. The book you're seaching for has a red hardback cover and will have a very unique author (Last name Cacher perhaps?) and contain the following Dewey Decimal number:
Ref ABC.D
Please be respectful of other patrons in the area and be sure to replace the cache back in it's rightful home. Enjoy the area, browse around and check things out.
