Easy walk in an historic, friendly Colorado setting.
Cache "remodeled" 1/7/05, again on 3/20/08. and again on 6/21/08! Sadly, Foss Drug was forced to close after almost 100 years of doing business in Golden. The holder of Colorado's oldest liquor license was allowed to stay open during prohibition, for "prescription" alcohol sales. When the pharmacy became unprofitable, the rest of the store was sacrificed, as the original liquor license was contingent on association with the pharmacy!
Starting co-ordinates are for ample public parking! This is an easy multi-step, virtual puzzle cache with many opportunities to learn about local history. Current newscasters and not so current rock bands are known as "talking heads". Your mission on this cache is to learn about “walking heads”. There are several museums along the route and nearby, so you could spend a day here. Enjoy the sculpture, and you may want to visit the oldest bar in Colorado, Buffalo Rose, (conveniently located directly across the street from the original capitol of Colorado!)
1. Proceed to N39 45.267 W105 13.290 Find a playhouse address nearby a little south xxxx.
2. Proceed to N39 45.(xxxx-955) W105 13.(xxxx-983). Let yyyy = year dedicated.
