Geocache Description:

This cache was part of the 2017 Spokane Geocache Tour. If you are interested current tours please visit SpokaneGeoTour.com for more information.

This cache is not at the posted coordinates.

This geocache is a letterbox hybrid. The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. Please follow instructions below to find the cache. The stamp inside the cache is to be considered part of the cache and is not to be taken as swag.

Originally built in the 1920s, the building you are now standing in front is a pump house. If you peek in the windows, you can see some of the machinery. The pump house is designed to pump water up the hill to store in the large tanks nearby. These tanks serve several neighborhoods south of where you are currently standing.

The pump house was reconstructed in 2013, finally replacing the nearly 80 year old pumps with more efficient ones. Now, only five pumps are needed, where the station once housed eight pumps for the same job.

This cache is a true letterbox hybrid, which means you must follow these directions to get to the cache:
To begin your journey, walk towards the cul-de-sac.
Proceed to where the corner of the silver fence meets the sidewalk.
Counting clockwise, walk 25 squares
At the 25th square turn left. The cache container will be underneath the object in front of you.
