The Earth and Mineral Sciences Library Geocache:
By George


The EMS Library geocache is hidden among our collection.
Follow these clues to find the cache and learn a little about libraries along the way!


Unlike the typical multicache that requires GPS coordinates to find the first clue, you are starting from this page so you already know the room number and building to begin your search!
From here, the only clue to the next stage is in the name of the geocache - By George. Good hunting!



If you would like to follow the clues to this multicache from the beginning, see the following:
N 40° 47.656 W 077° 51.950
UTM: 18T E 258283 N 4519765

(The waypoint for "By George" is GCQXJR.)

The first part of this multistage cache takes you to a neat example of a geologic formation known as a concretion. From this location, you will see a date. Multiply this date by 2, divide by 30, then subtract from the result the number of letters in the English alphabet. The resulting room number is where you need to go and visit "By George" for the next clue!
