[Libs-Or] Geocaching at Oregon Libraries

Sun Mar 22 16:51:01 PDT 2015

Okay, I've finished my survey of Oregon library geocaches.  Thanks to everyone who responded!  (And particularly to Cheryl Hill and Jennifer Maurer for the extra tips).

To the best of my knowledge, there are 29 geocaches hidden inside Oregon libraries.  Twenty seven of those are freely available and two are only available to "premium" members of geocaching.com.  There is also one Library Challenge in Oregon, which requires finding geocaches inside five different libraries (but this is also only available to premium members).

There are could easily be some more library caches and if you know of any, please drop me a line with the link to the cache on geocaching.com.

For those of you who are registered with geocaching.com, I made a public list of them all here<http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=cf54f31a-d697-4bac-ae65-8d88c7bafc05>.

I've just set up geocaches at three of our DPL branches (although to find all three caches, you need to visit all six of our branches - they are all "multi-stage")

http://www.deschuteslibrary.org/visit/geocache.aspx

What other Oregon libraries have geocaches hidden on their premises?  Let me know and I'll compile a list I'll send out to everyone.  It'd be a great tour of Oregon libraries to connect them all together.

Thanks,
