This evening I visited a cache that's a logbook placed in the stacks of a public library. Unless you know what you're looking for, the book looks just like a random library book on the shelf, but the author has included the dewey decimal number in the cache listing so cachers can find it easily.

Re: A cool cache
Wed, March 17, 2004 - 11:35 AMThat is pretty creative...isn't there something in the rules about putting them on private property? but then again, isn't the Library public? Either way it is a kewl idea?

Re: A cool cache
Wed, March 17, 2004 - 12:15 PMThere's something in the rules about placing them anywhere that you don't have permission to do so. However, the implementation seems to be more of a "haven't been told not to" rule. -

I think the "coolest" cache i have found was a small film canaster in a rock behind a creek bridge wall under more rocks. The owner of the cache drilled a hole in the rock, a perfect fit for a film canaster to sit underneath. Was pritty intersting! -

Thu, March 18, 2004 - 10:04 PMNo, the library one I visited is in San Francisco.
Posting a link would be a bit of a spoiler, though. -

Fri, March 19, 2004 - 8:54 PMposting a link to the cache...or the cache name so others can search for it...how is that a spoiler?? -

Re: A cool cache
Sat, March 20, 2004 - 1:55 AMI've already told you where it's located. If you just read the cache description, you would have to figure that out on your own.
(If you must, it's in San Francisco, and the name of it is Ex Libris.) -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: A cool cache
Thu, May 11, 2006 - 8:50 AMI like this because one of my first jobs was full-time book shelving in the graduate library at Cornell. Shelvers found all kinds of odd stuff--bras, pantyhose and the like, maybe stashed dope, though that may be a sort of unverifiable local legend.
I guess it must be on the first floor, since there's no "z axis" iwith the coordinates? -

Re: A cool cache
Thu, May 11, 2006 - 8:14 PMNope, not on the first floor. There's a note that says:
You will need this number: 526.7 Don't try to find the cache without it!
But I notice that it's now archived. How sad.
