Geocache Description:

If your passing thru Spokane via train or bus (or plane?) this ones for you!
I'd love to hear about your successful cache finds on your trip in your logs! I'll bet the DNF story's could be even better!

Best parking is on the street. Do not go up any stairs or climb any fences. Use stealth, probably not available in heavy snowfall.

This should be a quick grab, nothing too difficult, enough to keep the muggles away.
Speaking of muggles, there could be some around, use your common sense.

I took a train trip on The Empire Builder in 2012. Southwest Chief, the Coast Starlight and back on the Empire Builder for the ride home. 5,500 miles, 17 states, 30 caches found.

I checked all the stations along my route, locating caches that I could possibly find in the 15-20 minute plus/minus station stops.
I needed to disembark, get to ground zero, find, open, sign, replace the cache and get back to the station and aboard without missing my ride. lol!

I found most stations did have caches nearby. I thought, if I hope to find caches placed nearby on my trip, I better look at my own station and see what we offer the traveling cacher!
There weren't any close enough to make a mad dash, sign the log and make it back.


Using your geo senses, you shouldn't miss your ride, I don't want to be giving you a lift to the next station because you couldn't make the find!
