Geocache Description:

Another interesting spot in Old Sacramento that celebrates the technology of old. This includes technologies of transportation, communication, and commerce. (A little bit of today's technology is there, too.)

The answers are both outside and inside the building. To "find" this cache, please answer the following questions. As always, please don't post your answers as part of your visit. Thanks!!

1: Where would you be going if you were leaving at 11 AM? How about if you left at 8 PM??

2: If you sent a message coded 'Noel', what would you be saying??? (Note...it's extremely unlikely that this message would be sent by a college student.)

3:There is an exhibit dedicated to a man who was well known in his time. He left notes stating that his occupation was... what?? How successful was he in what he did?? (How many successes in how many attempts??)

BONUS QUESTION: What was the upstairs portion of this building used for?? (You can look for the answer or ask.)

PLEASE NOTE: The cache location is open 7 days a week from 10 AM to 5 PM. If you have to visit after hours, answer the questions to the best of your ability, and I will still allow it as a find.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you find the spot interesting.
