Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch Hints
I'm out of the jail. Where's the bank lamp?
1 of 6: Every building in town has a sign labeling it as a commercial establishment. Except for one.
2 of 6: That one is probably also a business of some sort.
3 of 6: Besides, it's very large and prosperous looking, and it has bars on the upstairs windows. Heck, it's the only place in town that even *has* an upstairs. Sounds like a bank to me.
4 of 6: Go to the middle of town and turn left so the gallows are at your back. You're now looking at the bank, with Cappy's on the right and the outhouse on the left.
5 of 6: See the lamp on the right corner?
6 of 6: Go up close to it and look for a hotspot among the bricks underneath.
