Geocache Description:

This is three-stop multi cache can take 2 minutes or 20 depending on how much time you have to enjoy the town and its history.

Waypoint #1: N41º 43.929 W122º 38.272
Waypoint #2: N41º 43.902 W122º 38.188 Waypoint #3: N41º 43.904 W122º 38.166

The waypoints may be done in any order. The logbook is cleverly hidden at Waypoint #3.

To claim this find, sign the log book and send me an e-mail describing:
(from waypoint #1) the UNUSUAL FEATURE of the NAME OF THE LOCATION featured on this plaque, and you'll also know one reason why Yreka is famous.
(from waypoint #2) what SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERY inspired the founding of Yreka, and you'll know one reason why Yreka is important.

There are many plaques up and down the central two blocks of Miner Street between these two waypoints detailing the history of the buildings and the area. Take the time to read as many of them as you can!

Enjoy your journey through Yreka's history!

Many thanks to hafhas for helping me get this cache up and running!
