Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not where the cache is located !!! Everything you need to find this cache is in the first two paragraphs of the description below.

NORTE
XERXES WAS NO XENOPHOBE, VANITY WAS HIS TRAIT.
TO EXIST ON FEAR PROVES ONE A JESTER.
THE CRESCENT SHAPES ON THE CROWN OF XERXES WAS FAUX IVY.

TO EXALT OR RISE
A BROAD CENSUS CREATES EXTRA EXTRAVAGANZA IN NONSENSE.

My bookshelves at home are getting rather full and I need to make some room, this is the third in a series of book exchange caches in some of Louisville's parks. The cache container is now a camo painted 30 cal. ammo box. Please keep with the theme of the cache and only exchange paperback books. You are welcome to drop off a book if there is room for it. Please post the books that you take or leave in the log for other cachers to get a look. Feel free to visit the cache more than just your first login to trade books, just post a note and not a find on your later visits.

The original cache contains a log with a pencil and the following five books:

  •  
  • Stephen Hunter's - The Second Saladin  
  • Stephen Hunter's - Point of Impact  
  • Stephen Hunter's - The Day Before Midnight  
  • Stephen Hunter's - Hot Springs  
  • Elmore Leanord's - City Primeval High Noon In Detroit

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
