Christmas Lights Tour ~ Spokane Valley Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Wiildrose: After paring down the route to only the BEST of the displays and moving the cache to a better location, therefore reworking the whole worksheet, it doesn't seem that there is enough interest in the lights anymore, so I have removed the cache and am archiving it.

Geocache Description:


HOLIDAY LIGHTS – SPOKANE VALLEY

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. YOU MUST SOLVE THE PUZZLE IN ORDER TO DISCOVER THE FINAL LOCATION. THERE IS A NEW WORKSHEET & CACHE LOCATION FOR 2022.

Every year I wish I knew of all the houses that have spectacular Christmas light displays. I thought that this year it would be fun to get a running list of all the pretty lights in town so that all of us could go see them. I intend to take my family on these routes, too! I also need your help, because I intend for this to not just be a cache, but also an on-going project for us all to enjoy. Whenever you cachers see an awesome, new light display, PLEASE let me know the coordinates/address, and I will put THAT new one on the page as well! This puzzle cache lists only a handful of the beautiful displays around town. If you want to keep tuned in to new sightings, just put a watch on this cache page, and you will know whenever there’s been a new one discovered and sent to me.

This will be a series, with a different route for each section of the city, if I can come up with enough displays for each part of the city. Some of these routes will be longer than others, due to the number of houses that I did or did not find decorated. You will enjoy some of the houses more than others. PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY ON SLICK ROADS, AND IN TRAFFIC!

PUZZLE: N 4B° C1.7F6 W 117° V6.XYZ

Take note that the letters are not in order on the worksheet. What to do: Go to the coords listed, and get the house number of the decorated house. Follow the instructions to figure out what the missing coordinate number is, and it’ll lead you to the cache container. Some of the locations will involve a tiny bit of subtraction. I have included a worksheet for you to print out. Have fun!

Tune your radio to 98.1 and you'll get holiday music to look at lights by.

DON’T FORGET TO PRINT OUT THE NEW WORKSHEET 2022!

Contact me if you have any problems. This was a very complicated cache to set up!
