Geocache Description:

This one isn't quite a "1,1" because you do have to hunt for it and there is a little bit of an incline. You can't miss the general area of this cache, though.

The cache container is an ammo can. I figured that there needed to be a TB Motel between Lewiston and Spokane & Coeur d' Alene. If you do find a travel bug in here, please try to get it get on it's way. If you take a travel bug/geocoin, please leave a travel bug/geocoin. Or, if you don't have a TB to exchange, please try to leave at least two in the Motel. Thanks., When you check out a TB {or even just stop by}, don't forget to stop by the "Gift Shop" and check out the items.

Moscow is located in northern Idaho, nestled between Moscow mountain and the beautiful undulating hills of the Palouse. Moscow is the "Heart of the Arts"--with the annual Jazz Festival, live music on the town, the Rendezvous in the Park, and summer theatre. After settlers arrived in 1871, the town became know as "Paradise Valley". In 1877, Samuel Neff filed for a postal permit under the name of Moscow because the area reminded him of his home town of Moscow, Pennsylvania.

In 1875, the city's first store was opened on what is now Main Street. Moscow grew with the arrival of the railroad in 1885. The town became incorporated in 1887 and was later chosen as the site for a land-grant institution, the University of Idaho. Idaho achieved statehood in 1890.
