Here's how it worked: The posted coordinates were for the library. Once inside, the cache description directed the seeker to a locked box in plain site of the help desk. Stenciled on the box were a set of coordinates for a dog tag hidden outside. The dog tag had the call number of a hollow book in the reference section (so it couldn't be checked out). The book contained a puzzle and riddle to solve the combination on the box. So finding the cache was easy, getting it open was the challenge. <br />
<br />
I had a blast <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/renzoscustomcache/my-file-cabinet/bookjacket.jpg?attredirects=0">designing the book cover.</a> It's a play on our local reviewer <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=f2efaa12-1bba-464e-b05e-88dda9f24417">Abe Froman</a> the "Sausage King" from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I also had some fun with the puzzle. The alphabetic lock was configured to open with a particular four letter word. The puzzle was <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/renzoscustomcache/my-file-cabinet/blocks.jpg?attredirects=0">four handmade alphabet blocks</a> with a different color and letter on each side. Matching the colors yielded six four letter words to unscramble: ring, rare, gilt, coin, loot, and rich. The riddle inside the hollow book read, "<i>Sincerest apologies if you sought knowledge amongst these pages of delicious sausage. But a final clue to a treasure greater than seasoned meats should null displeasure. Six words do hint at a seventh most important to unlock a small box full of enjoyment."</i> Can you guess the word?<br />
<br />
<a href="https://sites.google.com/site/renzoscustomcache/my-file-cabinet/boxopen.jpg?attredirects=0">Opening the box</a>, Finneus left a final message, "<i>Line your pockets with gold, but truth be told, the real treasures are books - look about and behold."</i> All the swag was gold themed including chocolate gold coins. I think you'll agree we have an awesome library to allow such shenanigans under their roof.Renzo Tobiashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13288942399443070114noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955396169959961042.post-31272723122927419892010-02-26T22:09:00.010-06:002010-02-26T23:00:55.718-06:00Mr. Dewey Retires<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvuUVpFcQsQGX3uoUK-EYKyxIIjTzTN94Ei8dpp-8bbuaXJkpmncHCA2GEIYKHQ_jlR2axI3XUJ7NBKbL5WZdqfd3GM0OdRqmOHKQj14omeKGlN-vo9csVQqmAVxc6pxRRvBsfOZml_R8/s1600-h/melvildewey.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 359px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvuUVpFcQsQGX3uoUK-EYKyxIIjTzTN94Ei8dpp-8bbuaXJkpmncHCA2GEIYKHQ_jlR2axI3XUJ7NBKbL5WZdqfd3GM0OdRqmOHKQj14omeKGlN-vo9csVQqmAVxc6pxRRvBsfOZml_R8/s400/melvildewey.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442771027953196514" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=d708edeb-d535-4676-a156-9c7fc99f941a">Paging Mr. Dewey</a> was my first shot at a library hide. Over the course of 16 months Mr. Dewey had 31 visitors and picked up a local award nomination. That's not too shabby considering it took a good hour to solve.</p> <p>Here's how Mr. Dewey worked: A commemorative plaque in the landscape was used to decode a call number for a book in the reference section. The book was actually a binder with many copies of this <a href="http://renzotobias.googlepages.com/pagingmrdewey.pdf">worksheet</a>. A variety of really cool <a href="http://openlibrary.org/b/OL2728898M/Facts_on_File_dictionary_of_numerical_allusions">reference books</a> were used to complete the worksheet and find the three digit combination for the lock on a bonafied <a href="http://renzotobias.googlepages.com/treasurechest.jpg">treasure chest</a> at the reference desk.</p> <p>Benefits of a library cache: the weather inside is always perfect, no one can steal the cache, the swag tends to be great, the container doesn't have to keep out weather or animals, and it helps educate the public about geocaching. Today Mr. Dewey was replaced by <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=d6db2a59-45ac-44d8-bf76-713b6b4363ef">Mr. Fishbottom</a>.

These geocoins are earmarked for globetrotting so they got the bulletproof-treatment. First some wooden puzzle pieces got personal with a hole saw. Then the travel itinerary was posted on their backsides with some heavy stock paper. The geocoins got glued in and then the entire beast was slathered in clear sealer.

Print, cut, fold, staple, and then reinforce the spines like this: Fold a strip of 1/2"waterproof first-aid tape over the top. If the tape's adhesive is lame on the specialty paper add some contact adhesive to beef it up. Practice on cheap paper first and stick with laser printers.

Photos, bugs, sprinkles, candy, and wire are the sorts of mixed media that can be cast into the epoxy. Try googling "bottle cap art" to get more ideas and have fun collecting those caps.

Celebrate by running naked through the streets, then settle down and print up a sheet of these cards. See that geocaching logo on the plaque? The folks at Groundspeak would like you to know,"The Geocaching.com logo is a Registered Trademark of Groundspeak. Used with permission."
