A Pleasure to Burn Multi-cache

The coordinates for Stage 1 are outside a public building. The clue at Stage 1 will help you decide where to find Stage 2 inside. Stage 2 provides the information to open the locked container, which is less than 5 feet away. You must sign the log inside the locked container to claim the find. The building is open Monday-Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Please be respectful of the building’s occupants as you hunt quietly for the cache.

THE CACHE

As a child, he was a huge fan of magicians and the adventure stories of L. Frank Baum, Jules Verne and Edgar Rice Burroughs. He decided to become a writer at about age 12 or 13. 

After graduation from high school in 1938, he couldn't afford to go to college, so he went to the local library instead. "Libraries raised me," he later said. "I believe in libraries because most students don't have any money. When I graduated from high school, it was during the Depression, and we had no money. I couldn't go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years."

In 1950, he published his first major work, The Martian Chronicles. His best-known work, published in 1953, became an instant classic for its themes of censorship and conformity. But the author disputed that description, instead explaining the book as a story about how television drives away interest in reading.

This famous American horror and fantasy author died on June 5, 2012, at the age of 91.
