Geocache Description:


In researching the Cornell Library when finding new locations to hide a cache, I saw their recent Facebook post that a small pawed creature had wrecked some havoc with their fax lines. Fax is back up and running, but that gave me inspiration to use a puzzle I wanted to put back into play from a now archived cache I had previously enjoyed solving.

Cache placed with permission of Lori Oemig, library director. The posted coordinates will take you to the library parking lot; which, while a good spot to ponder how to solve this mystery, the puzzle can actucally be solved from home in advance of your visit.
