Geocache Description:


*This cache is not at the posted coordinates!*

All of the paw-some caches in the GeoCat Series are located along a dog-friendly (boo) walking/biking trail.  Most are purr-ty simple hides.  But to get the exact coordinates, you will need to solve a fur-mitable cat-themed puzzle for each. How well do you know famous felines?  Don't fur-get to bring a pen! 

Oh, and keep your cat's eyes peeled for clues in each cat cache in order to find the coordinates for the Grumpiest Cat of All! (GC8VM1Z)

 

Dewey Readmore Books was the official Library Cat of the Spencer Iowa Public Library.  He was found abandoned in the library's bookdrop during the winter of 1988.  He was adopted by the library, specifically by head librarian Vicky Myron.  He served as Staff Superviser and spent the remainder of his life living in the library.  He passed away in 2006 and his ashes were buried outside the library.  In 2008, Myron wrote and published his biography, "Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat Who Touched the World."
