This cache will take you to a spot where you can safely view some bee hives while never leaving the sidewalk. At the cache site look north towards the large tree and you will see the hives in action. Please do not leave the sidewalk.
These hives belong to NW Youth Ops (formerly Project Hope). Young people who work for the NW Youth Ops tend the hives under the mentorship of West Plains Bee Keepers Association club members. The club has also been involved in training the young beekeepers and helping them establish their hives. The hives are plainly visible from the street but are set back behind a fence.
The 2017 Spokane Geocache Tour brings you Sustainability of Spokane. This Geocache Tour will send geocachers on a trip through the Spokane region, finding caches in areas where Spokane residents utilize natural resources and give back to the environment. You will visit locations featuring water conservation, farming, waste treatment, forestry, and of course dam, solar and wind energy.
- All caches begin with the series name SOS: followed by a location specific name so they are easy to search. We also made a SOS Bookmark of the caches.
- Be sure to visit SpokaneGeoTour.com for more infomation on current tours and a map view of all caches in this series.
The Sustainability of Spokane Geocache Tour is sponsored by Cache Advance, and by donation from local cachers. We hope you enjoy the tour!
