Geocache Description:


This is the location of the first stage of my cache. You'll need to come here first. Here you can solve my field puzzle. 

At this location you'll find the key: 4-15-23-14-9-14-7-20-15-23-14 12-9-2-18-1-18-25

And here's your puzzle: 2-9-15 8-15-1-7-9-5-19-20-8-5-C-18-4

The cache is located inside the Downingtown Library in the Chester County Library System

A little about me: I've been geocaching since I was a few weeks old, and now I am 4. This year I passed 175 finds! And I've found dozens of FTFs, thanks to geocaching with my grandparents. 

After placing my first geocache in the Chester Springs Library, I asked the librarian here if I could place a geocache here while Gramma (Mrs.Hoagie) and I were setting up a summer Geocaching program last summer. It's my Third geocache as a cache owner. I named and painted it myself, with a little help from the old Downingtown childrens librarian's friend, and of course, Mrs.Hoagie and Hoagies.

Library hours are (as of May 15th 2023)... except they're closed for holidays. Check the website for more details.

I picked out an unactivated trackable for the FirstToFind, a Tool of the Trade for the SecondToFind, and a personal item for the ThirdToFind. Enjoy!

I would love to see your pictures and logs!  Please tell me your story, like I've told you my story. I love stories!
