Geocache Description:

Party at the Moon Tower #10
W. 15th St. and San Antonio St.

Once a popular form of lighting in the US and Europe, Austin is now home to the only remaining moonlight towers in the world. Between 1894 and 1895 there were 31 moon towers erected in Austin. The original carbon arc lamps used illuminated a circle approximately 3,000 feet in diameter with a blue-white light (The towers now use 6,400-watt mercury vapor bulbs). Sadly, just 15 moon towers remain today. They are now designated as official state archeological landmarks and are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

This moon tower cache is located about a block away from the actual moon tower (look south) because of cache density rules... of course it was my first cache that is too close! Bring your own pen. Please log your DNFs :)

Congrads to SoftScienceOfficer! FTF!!
