Historic Becker #1 - Pedal Inn Antiques Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

HedgHg88: Its a sad day that I must archive the First cache I got published. With 28 Favorite points its time to say goodbye after only 2 years, 4 months, and 6 days.

It was probably the most Favorite of my caches; but time roles on, and things change. The owners of Pedal Inn Antiques are selling the building after 15 years. I wish them the best of luck in their future.

For those that asked, I do not own the beacon. It belongs to the Store Owners.

Hope you enjoy your retirement Joan, and Best of luck in your future Holly.

Geocache Description:

Congratulations to medicbrian and andrewmcc for FTF. I am sure one of them got my Custom Made FTF coin Serial Number #001. Non-Trackable.

As with all Caches, Permission has to be given to place cache. I have permission. I also talked to the Becker Police Chief about the cache.

The Area of Becker was first known to be populated in the mid 1800s. This building was built in 1912, and I was told is one of the Newest on the block. Nix Bar is the newest.


Before the current owners bought this building and turned it into an Antique Store, it was a bicycle repair shop. When they purchased it they had to buy all the old bikes along with the building. Keeping that in mind, they named it Pedal Inn Antiques. Going with the idea and the name, they decided that they must always have atleast one bike on display. They sold a majority of the bikes, but kept a few. If you look around, you will see that inside the warehouse building there are very nice antique bikes hanging from the rafters. These bikes are NOT for sale.

The Pedal Inn Antiques building also is the proud owner of the oldest Elevator in town. This Elevator use to go to the second floor, but do to a fire it no longer does. It access the basement. I have talked to the other two story building on the block, they do not have an elevator.

If you look across the street, you will see a Bar, Part of the bar is an old brick building. That is the Old Bank Building. If you go inside you will see the Vault door is still in place.

Looking down the road the other direction you can see the Original Band Stand. A little farther down, you will see the old Fire Hall.

I will try to come up with more sites to place caches. If anybody has an idea, they are free to place their caches and name them Historic Becker #...
