The cache is not at the posted Coords. We will need to take a little tour to gather the necessary numbers for your cache hunt. This is a multi location and mulit type cache that will take all of your geocaching skills to complete. When you complete stage one, the tour, you will plug the answers to 4 questions into the coords in order to find stage two. Have fun!
Welcome to Petaluma! You are now standing near the center of historic downtown Petaluma. We are about to take a short tour of some of Petaluma’s historic buildings. If you look nearby, you should find a map of the area you are about to tour. It might help you get an idea of where we are going to be headed. If you will please head down the street to 41 Petaluma Blvd, you will find a building that has a very intersting past.
This restaurant has been a Petaluma staple for decades and is home to some fantastic Italian deep dishes. Did you know, however, that this building has a rather steamy past? The building was actually a brothel! The “women of the night” would stand in the windows above to show off for the men waiting below. The small rooms down the hallway from the restaurant are where the women would take their gentleman callers. For those of you who are geocaching, you might want to count the number of steps there are to get to the second floor here at the entrance (C = the second number of the two digit answer + 3). Now if you would kindly head a few blocks up to 125 Keller St. we will be able to continue our tour.
While this is a great diner for breakfast and lunch, this location was once home to something a little sweeter. You could come here, to Swensens Ice Cream shop, to get an Earthquake Sundae. I believe it was eight scoops of ice cream with every topping imaginable! Wife Goonie still misses the Swiss Orange Chip flavor. What you will want to notice about this location is the number of stools at the counter. If the location is closed you should be able to look through the window (B).
Across the street is our next stop, 132 Keller St. This building used to be Tuttles Drug Store. The store carried a little of everything and was always filled with locals picking up the necessities. Wife Goonie fondly remembers their wide selection of paper dolls in the toy section. Geocachers will want to count the number of letters in the word above the address (A). Then we will head to our last locaion of the tour, 141 Petaluma Blvd.
The building you are now standing in front of used to be US Bakery. The bakery was your traditional Mom n’ Pop shop and it was home to the world’s best chocolate bar donut. Many years ago, Wife Goonie would come here every Wednesday morning with her dad and two sisters for donuts and Clover chocolate milk. If you will count the number of words on the bread board above the door, you geocachers will be ready to move on with your fun (D).
We hope you have enjoyed this brief tour of some memorable locations of Petaluma. Now, you can head out and create some memories for your own.
Now, for the coords. Please insert the answers to the following coords in order to move on.
N 38* 1A.1C3
W 122* 3B.D11
Good luck!
