This multi-cache is a bit different. You will need to do most of
this cache without a GPSr as most of the clues are found
within the Caribou Public Library. Due to this, you will be limited
to when you can solve these clues. The library's hours are Monday -
Friday 10am to 8pm and Saturdays from 10am to 4 pm. The library is
closed on Sundays. The coordinate given for this multi-cache is the
parking lot for the library. Park and have fun!
