If your day isn’t already booked with adventure, this is one geocache you will definitely want to check out! No library card required! But first a bit of library history…
Did you know that the Dewey Decimal system is the classification system used by libraries to arrange non-fiction books according to subject? First developed by Librarian Melvil Dewey in 1876, the cataloging system issues each book a shelf mark number, usually found on the spine of the book, and arranged in numerical order.
To open this cache, you’ll need to know the first three numbers of the Dewey Decimal for GEOCACHING! You can find these three digits a few ways:
- First, find the total number of FROG eyes watching you nearby; then the number of letters in Alfred and Anita’s last name; and finally the number of lamp posts you can see (only in Patron’s Park from this cache viewpoint). Those are the three digits you need, but not in order!
- To find the correct order if the West Bend Library is open, make it a caching side quest to go inside and find out this number on the library catalogue computers, or ask a librarian!
- You can also simpy Google this information...but where is your sense of adventure?!?
- To find the correct order if the West Bend Library is closed, take a peak at the hint!
When you are finished with this cache, be sure to properly close, lock and scramble the code for the next finder! Please be respectful of the landscaping and other’s enjoying the park. This cache may be difficult to access in winter (Patron’s Park is not shoveled).
