1915 Electric Automobile (on exhibit inside the Campbell House carriage house). No admission is needed to find the cache just outside of the carriage house.
Hand-cranking wasn’t required to start electric cars, so they were especially popular with early 20th century women drivers. Spokane's Agnes McDonald was a popular sight, driving her 1915 Rauch and Lang electric automobile around town until 1951. Its original hubcaps are still in place, but original spoked wheels were replaced with smaller ones during World War II, when only small rubber tires were available. Although original headlamps were relocated from front windows to front fender, a tiller style rod still provides steering control.
Museum admission is required for access to Campbell House and its carriage house.

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!
