Geocache Description:

This virtual is located in downtown Cleveland, so the coordinates could be slightly off due to the tall buildings interfering with the GPS signal. To successfully complete the cache, there are two (2) questions you must answer.

BEETLE PEOPLE - These small bronze figures are in the process of 
constructing -either the gates or words themselves in this location. 
These humorous figures are seen playing with the letters, rearranging 
them, hauling them into position or even stealing them from the gates! 
They represent us in many of our various activities and pastimes.

Your first assignment is to use the coordinates to find the 2 beetle 
people pictured below. Now turn east to find out the name 
of the place protected by the gates. There is a small plaque attached to the side of the building, viewable from the sidewalk or inside the park. This is the 1st answer you 
must message or e-mail us. The name is not on the gates, you must locate the little plaque (zooming in with your camera works well to read it). Library is not in the title, so please do not send us an answer using the word library!

For your second assignment, turn around again and face south. Use the 
crosswalk to cross the street and proceed straight ahead, entering the 
building on the other side. Continue on inside the building and walk straight. When you 
reach the "crosswalk", look up and count the number of octagons under 
it. This is the second and final answer you must message or e-mail us. If you walked completely through this structure, you went too far!

The architecture of this old building is unique. Take some time to explore 
and discover this gem in downtown Cleveland.

Log the find and let us know what you thought of the cache. Please do 
not post the answers to the assignments in your log. If you post your 
find and have not sent us the correct answers by e-mail your entry will 
be DELETED. You do not need a reply from us in order to post your find.
