Geocaching is free. Of course we all know that.
However to get the most out of the game people will usually need to spend a little money here and there.
One of the expenditure lines is for Tools of The Trade aka TOTTs.
There are many of these ranging from things which help you to solve puzzles, project coordinates, or to access a GZ or a cache at a GZ. Some caches can not be accessed without a specific TOTT. And sometimes this requirement is reflected in either or both of the D and T ratings.
This series contains caches which you will probably find easier with one or more TOTTs. Whether it is working out the final location or accessing the cache once there, there will be something where a TOTT will help. But part of the fun is that we won't necessarily tell you in advance which TOTTs you might need. Of course this may not be a problem for the experienced geocacher. But for newer ones some of these might open new windows of opportunities.
This is #09 in the series. It is an Traditional Type.
The Book Gnome likes nothing better than to have a quiet place to read his book away from disturbances and distractions. He believes that reading his book quietly helps him to rise above the mundane humdrum of life.
So if you do get to meet him please make sure you leave him safely in his personal “reading room”. Thank you.
