Hey, we just stumbled across a type of cache that we were not aware of before, and it combines another one of our passions – books!<\/p>\n

These ‘book caches’ combine the concept of ‘bookcrossing’ (the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise) with Geocaching. It’s the ultimate book exchange! <\/p>\n

The concept is simple – take a book, leave a book. A few of the book caches are themed and you should only exchange like books. As well, ensure that the books are protected from the elements.<\/p>\n

Some of these caches are actual Bookcrossing Zones, registered on Bookcrossing.com<\/a>, the online free book exchange website that coined the term ‘bookcrossing’ back in 2001 and now has over 600,000 members releasing books into the wild. <\/p>\n

A keyword search on GC<\/a> for ‘book’ and ‘bookcross’ will hopefully yield results for your area. If not, perhaps it’s a hint to create your own library! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And speaking of library and books, there’s quite a number of ‘library caches’, where the Geocache is hidden inside a library, usually inside a book. <\/p>\n

Geocachers are not only active but apparently ‘well -read’ too!<\/p>\n

Keep on cachin’<\/p>\n
