NOTE 7/28/18

I did a total re-do of this cache because the books for the old version kept getting checked out and/or removed from circulation.  While not as relevant now, I decided to retain the same name.

 

The coords given are for a parking lot.  (You don't have to pay for the first 90 minutes;  be sure to enter your license plate at the pay station.)

Cache access hours are M-Th, 9-8;  F-Sa, 10-6;  Su, 12-6.

Proceed on a course of 270 deg true into the nearest building.

 

Locate tome  R 912 Atla

Record the page numbers where the following appear:

Thomas, OKla          _____

Thomas Mtns, Ant.     _____

Thomas Falls, Nfld    _____

 

Locate tome  R 912 Time

Record the page numbers where the following appear:

Thomas River, Aust    _____

Thomas, OK            _____

Thomas Lake, Aus      _____

Thomas Mtn, CA        _____

 

Sum the 7 page numbers;  this is “X”    _____.

The final log is hidden inside the jacket of

     R (X-12) F

 

CAUTION:  Be careful about being observed. Also, be sure to replace the final tome in the proper position on the shelf.

My wife and I both love libraries, so when we had some time to kill in Boulder this was our second stop. The opportunity to hunt though the reference section and log a mystery cache just made the stop that much more enjoyable! Times are all still present and the log is in excellent condition. Thank you very much for putting together this little puzzle!

Back in business; totally re-done.

Still working on the update; hard to make it compatible with the name and ensure that nothing gets checked out. Will try hard to get it done this week. Very sorry for the delay. It has been a popular cache to date and I'd like the update to be similarly popular.

Greetings,

We are doing a check of caches that have been disabled for an extended period. Please maintain this cache and post an appropriate note to the cache page.

As stated in the cache listing guidelines https://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to hunt for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable time - normally a few weeks - in which to arrange a visit to your cache. In the event that a cache is not being properly maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an extended period of time, we may archive or transfer the listing.

PLEASE NOTE:
Today's notice is a friendly reminder only. Do not reply to me directly. Rather, please LOG A VISIT on this cache page and WRITE A NOTE Please do not use the "OWNER MAINTENANCE" log until you do the maintenance and the cache is ready to be found again with a status update and any intention to revive the cache. Several reviewers participate in cache maintenance tasks so a log posted in this manner is the best way to get your message seen. Without a log posted you risk having the cache archived.

If you have disabled this cache for the winter or a season, please consider this a reminder to post a notice for when you expect the area to re-open. Re-activate the cache if the area is actually open again.

After you have checked on it and it's ready for seeking again, great! You can re-enable the cache page http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 by clicking the link under the cache name or by checking the box that says the cache is active. If, however, you discover that the cache is missing and/or you decide not to replace it, then please remove any remaining pieces of it and archive it. This will open up the area for other geocachers to hide their own geocaches. You may also need to digitally relocate any trackable items still listed here. If a "Needs Maintenance" log was posted, you will also need to log an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" icon from the geocache page. http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and I am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future. If the cache is not maintained or the status is not updated, it will be archived. Thank you for understanding.

If this sounds like an automated email template, that's because it is. I apologize for that but the volume of messages we get is such that templates like this make the process much more efficient. Thanks for your understanding.

I look forward to hearing from you. Do not reply to this email. It is sent by a no-reply mailbot so I won't get it. To respond, please do NOT send me an e-mail or a message center conversation as they lack needed functionality for reviewing. Leave a new "Reviewer Note" log here on your cache page. If you're not familiar with this process, see the instructions https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=97&pgid=74. I have your cache on my watchlist, and I will receive a notification when you write your note. All reviewer notes are deleted when your cache is published.

Additionally, please note that if I've not heard from you in 4 weeks, I may be forced to archive this cache. Don't let your cache get archived for non-communication

Struggled with tome #1. Had the wrong one first and librarian was able to get me on the right track. Once I located the correct clues, tome #2 was a piece of cake. SL
