Cache Idea

[+RCDispatchersx2]

After being woke up by the whiney dog this early am, I was laying in bed trying to fall back asleep, all the while thinking. I thought maybe I should just find a book to read (finished the one I was reading prior to bedtime) and that is when it hit me.

 

I don't keep many of my books usually give to other readers or even (gasp) throw them away. What about a cache (would have to be 5 gal bucket size) that it's theme would be to trade out books? Has this been done before? I have seen DVD and CD ones but not books, yet. I know there would be a slight problem with moisture but if you offered ziplocks to store new books in and keep them that way would it work?

 

Would it be best to hide it urban somewhere or in the woods....

 

Just an idea.

Yes it has been done before. Sorry can't remember any names of the top of my head.

Try doing a seach using keyword book.

Book Buddies in Concord, MA.

 

My favorite book-themed cache is DAVID'S TOME, also in Concord, MA. Not exactly the same idea but very cool indeed.

We have a book trade cache in Fishers NY, called Fishers Library.

There is one in the Dayton, Ohio area called "Library in the Woods".

I haven't visited it *yet* but I think its going well based on the logged finds.
