Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the Fargo-Moorhead GeoTour, the first official GeoTour in the states of Minnesota & North Dakota.

To participate, download a passport here or pick one up at the Fargo-Moorhead Visitor Center. Use the passport to track your progress in collecting “code words” at each location. Find 20 of the 24 Fargo-Moorhead GeoTour caches to earn an official GeoTour coin, and find all 24 caches to earn a virtual souvenir from HQ. 

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This family-friendly hide is a quick but worthwhile multicache full of (and surrounded by) lots of treasures - especially if you're a fan of books. It's a safe place for trackables. There is no employee interaction or purchase necessary to find this cache, but questions and conversation are welcomed.

NOTE: the final stage is available only while the library is open, so please make sure to note the hours of operation.

The posted coordinates will take you outside a building. Use the information located there to locate the geocache which is hosted inside.

The second & final stage can be located in the "A" collection using reference number A 9B8.4 D

  • A: Two letter abbreviation of state + C
  • B: The number of letters in the words listed on the front of the building (hint: one word) 
  • D: The shortened version of the word "geocaching" 

Special thanks to Nicole Hofer and the staff at Fargo Public Library for their collaboration in creating this cache for all to enjoy.
