Geocache Description:

Bill Smith Dedication Cache

This Cache was placed here by Family who loved him and shared his memories. Graeagle was one of his favorite places to ride his trike to from Truckee on a warm summer afternoon. Catching a bite to eat at the hamburger joint down the street and always going into the market to enjoy his favorite desert Snickers. His favorite routes were the Gold Lakes loop and Markleville in the fall to see the aspen trees in Hope Valley.

Bill Smith passed away peacefully on April 30, 2009, at home. He was 82 years old. He died of complications from interstitial lung disease. He and his wife moved to Truckee in 1970 after purchasing the Cottage Hotel in historic Brickeltown, a neighborhood of downtown Truckee.

This winter Bill stated he loved the area’s “blue bird days,” those special days right after a fresh snowstorm with the trees draped in white. He also loved the fall colors, chasing the changing colors on his trike. He is now at peace riding his trike with his conures Peppers and Cricket at his side.

He will always be remember by those who knew and loved him.
