Geocache Description:

The Kansas City, Clay County and St. Joseph Interurban Electric Rail ran from 1913 to 1933. It started in Downtown Kansas City heading northwest to St. Joseph, and northeast to Excelsior Springs in North Kansas City. There are several old Luten style arch bridges still standing on the old routes. For more information about this rail line go to: http://www.interurbanroad.com/. Ed Gentry has done extensive research and has some wonderful details and photos of the cars, stations and bridges.

Stage 1 - This is the original Dearborn Station. Do NOT get out of your car. Stay off the property! To find the North/South Coordinate for the Final, the numbers over the door will complete this series - 39 31.__ __ __.

Stage 2 - Notice this building has embossed letters on the side. Under "Hotel" there is a special message. Using those words, count the number of "A"s, "E"s, and "I"s. Give each "A" a value of 100, each E a value of 25, and for each "I" a negative 1. This number will be the last three digits of the east/west coordinate of the Final - 094 46.__ __ __.

The Final cache is a small tupperware container. Hours: Monday - 9 am to 9 pm
Tuesday through Friday 9 am to 6 pm
Saturday - 9 am to 5 pm
