Geocache Description:

Jocur's Poetry Cache is located in the Crystal Lake Conservation Area. You can find parking along the side of the road (Crystal Street). You can follow one of the trails for most of the trip. The cache is an ammo box, roughly 60 to 70 feet from the trail.

As you can probably guess from the name, this cache has a poetry theme. I'm placing it as a project for a college course. Inside the cache are various books of poetry, but feel free to place any poetry-related items. The idea is for everyone who finds the cache to either 1) post in the online log a poem they like (including the title and author) or print up a poem and place it in the cache (there's a bag called collected poems). A great resource for finding poems is Google. Also americanpoems.com had quite a few. There's also a $5 gift card to Barnes and Noble for the first finder.

Initial Contents:
The Sonnets of William Shakespeare
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge
Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot
$5 gift card to B & N
