Way back in elementary school, I discovered that our library had several sets of book that all kinda looked the same on the shelf. There were the tantalizing red spines of the Biographies - and I burned through those like a third grader hooked on non-fiction. The other series that caught my attention had blue spines and took up a whole shelf in the fiction section. It's that series that has led to this puzzle.
It should be relatively easy to determine the coordinates for this cache, even for those who have never read one of the books in the blue-spined fiction series.
When I started researching the secret of the old mill, I had no idea I would soon be hunting for hidden gold. I mean, seriously, like who would have thought that place would have treasure hidden in it? As luck would have it, Biff and Bob got lost and I found myself searching for the missing chums while continuing to look for the tower treasure. Yeah, I had narrowed it down to being in the mill's tower by that point. I'll tell you this now, searching a place like that is tricky business.
I eventually found Biff and Bob, but I think they may have been delirious. Biff was ranting about the mystery of Cabin Island while Bob was mumbling something about the great airport mystery. Perhaps they inhaled too much mill dust. I reminded them that we had been discussing the mystery of the desert giant (very different from the mystery of the giant dessert) and we continued to search for the tower treasure. After hours of searching, I feared the secret of the old mill would remain a secret and my no-longer missing chums and I headed off to the diner for a giant dessert.
On the way to the diner, I realized I now had the coordinates to the location of a geocache.
