Telido Station was used by the Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad. This electric line brought the people from Spokane and Coeur d' Alene to (near) this spot to finish the short jaunt to Liberty Lake. We found a few remnants of the station. That is what you are looking for.

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES! (but it is really, really close...)


You need to use the posted coordinates so please don't park on them! At the posted coordinates you will notice there is water water everywhere but not a drop to drink. The answer to A is how many water do you see?

You will now need to count trees because tree counting is important. Within the cul de sac (officially from yellow to yellow) the answer to B is how many trees do you count? Now double that number because more trees are good whether it is today or 100 years ago when Telido Station was in full operation.

Let's solve this puzzle so we can go hop in the lake!

The final coordinates are at N 47° 40.(069 - A) W 117° 08.(087 + B)
