A Geocache for Bibs and Fibs

N 39.54.896 / W 104.55.169.  Plug these GPS coordinates into Google Maps and view the satellite map to see exactly where this geocache honoring Billy and Philip, as teachers, is hidden. 

We hid our first geocache today dedicating it to Billy and Philip who nicknamed themselves as Bibs and Fibs when younger. 

In recognition of their teaching careers, the "Bibs & Fibs Cache" was hidden on the edge of our public library parking lot at the bottom of a street light! 
The hint, "Always use a good light when reading".

Daddy Jim is not trying to disguise himself, but it was a chilling 24 degrees with a Colorado winter snow and ice storm coming in.
The cache, which has taken all day to put together and get posted on the Geocaching website, contains several valuable "Cache Trinkets" including a coveted "First to Find" coin and some "Spirit of Sheba" wooden coins I had made especially for my geocaching.  It also includes a beautiful Geocaching world marble (not pictured), a little flashlight (pictured), a log and pencil, and some geocaching stickers. (The GPS is not included. lol)

Another "hint' includes the library symbol on the sign...
I call this a 'sign" of a new generation!

The bad news is that Geocaching has sent me an email stating that the cache must be removed because it is near a school. I replied that I'm not aware of that regulation, but of the one that says a geocache can't be placed on school property. I pointed out that this is not on school property, but on the property of our public library. I'm still waiting a response.

Take Care on the Journey,
