All Vehicles Must Stop Here

By: UnixGal (aka estemmer) Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I think this is the 4th cache I've found along this stretch over the years. Unfortunately, they don't seem to last in this spot. Thanks for giving it a try though!

Big Bay View

By: Ben Loudermilk Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

I walked over the half mile from the animal shelter, enjoying the late afternoon sun and views. Thanks for the cache and the walk!

C's the Moment!

By: MrsAquaholic & Cebear Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Quick pick-up on the way home from work tonight. Very pleasant walk along the bay trail! TFTC.

The Belmont Rumbler

By: GeoAML Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I didn't have the updated coordinates, which caused some confusion, but before I started searching in earnest the tell-tail noise redirected my attention. After that, geosense took over and I had the cache in hand shortly. I love caches that point out mysterious things like this!

Central Attention

By: 4HGeocachersSC Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

All quiet on a Sunday night. Parked within 20', and was in and out in less than a minute. It could have been much more difficult in this busy spot! TFTC.

Greatest Story Ever Told

By: 300cdturbo Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Plenty busy on a Sunday night. We just went ahead with our work even though folks were sitting at the tables right inside the windows. If anything looked out of the ordinary to them, they didn't let on. TFTC.

Roosevelt "Island" Park

By: Mrs Camper and Camper03 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

All quiet on a Sunday night. Tricky hide, but we perservered and had it in hand after a few minutes. Not even a bench in this park...TFTC.

Not too Heavy

By: gopogo120 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Looking across the way, we spotted the type of sign we were expecting to find. Only problem was the widget was pointing somewhere else. Oh, wait a second...TFTC.

Playhouse

By: gopogo120 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

Driving by, we spotted a couple of people at this cache site. It turns out they were the cache owners on a maintainance check. Nice to meet you! Thanks for sponsoring this evening's entertainment.

An easy A

By: gopogo120 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Wow! It hit me right between the eyes! The log sheet is full. TFTC.

The big bad water tanks

By: gopogo120 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Beautiful weather for an evening cache run. All four of us had to get out and search before the container was located, and based upon the hint we were expecting something magnetically attached. TFTC.

Bear Valley

By: punchman1 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

A fun little bushwhack to a very pretty overlook. We approached from the upper side which made things a bit easier, although there was a fence to cross. Thanks for bringing us here and for pointing out the view.

E.T. Astroid!

By: Clay4 & whtwolfden Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

Day two of our family trip from CA to UT taking the remote highway route. With Cedar City as tonight's objective, we drove by plenty of caches today, probably more than we ever will again, stopping only occasionally. Noticing the sign that said the next gas was over 100 miles away made us feel just a tad isolated! TFTC.

E.T. 355

By: Clay4 & whtwolfden Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Ordered lunch and then took a stroll while waiting for the food. Thanks for the quick diversion.

Pahroc Yo Mama

By: Baad Daata Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

Along our way between Tonopah and Cedar City. I couldn't decide if this area was man-made or not. It seemed a bit too organized to be natural, but yet there wasn't any evidence of a road or other disturbance. Strange. The cache was tough to find, but we were aided by a subtle cairn. Thanks for the handrail! ...and the cache.

Area 51 Black Mailbox

By: aknatn Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Just a whole lotta nothing out here. I wonder what kind of mail gets dropped in the alien's box?!? TFTC.

Sand Spring Valley T.B. INN

By: nvtriker Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Quite a bit warmer since we've come down in elevation from Tonopah this morning. Exactly 3 cars have passed us since we turned onto ET Hiway. Amazing! Love the wide open views. I had a coin somewhere in the car, but couldn't find it so TNLN. Thanks.

In memory of Sgt. Stevenson

By: trentonj Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Regular

A nice little hike and a wide open view. Lovely! Thanks for bringing us here.

WELCOME TO PANACA

By: imapackrat Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen

We found this cache after a quick visit with a high school friend of mrs303's. Her: 'You know, my old friend lives in Panaca, we haven't talked in 10 years, and I'd like to see her'. Me: 'How are you going to find her house? You don't know how to get ahold of her' Her: 'Well, we could ask someone...' To make a long story short, we stopped at the post office, and asked the first person who came out. 'Yeah, sure, I know your friend. The house is just around the corner.' Amazing. TFTC!

Mike's Memorial Cache

By: awadams Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Paid our respects, and then found the cache. Regards and thanks.

Oak Springs Summit

By: 2badgers2nv Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

A quick stop along our way between Tonopah and Cedar City. Thanks for the chance to stretch our legs!

OCHT

By: imapackrat Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Pretty view from the cache site. I hiked in from the hiway since the road looked a little dicey for the minivan. Our last cache before passing into UT. Thanks.

E.T. Highway Cache

By: Dr. of Rockology Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

We skipped the rest, but you just have to stop for a regular sized cache! Mighty quiet out here. We loved it! Thanks.

Watch out for Trolls!

By: veedub6 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Caching our way between Fish Lake and Joes Valley. Beautiful country! Thanks for getting us out on this lonely road.

Point Reflection

By: Wild Will Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

What a wonderful view point! We stayed for quite awhile watching the hundreds of pelicans that were in the water. Very cool. Once we started searching for the cache, we came up first with the gallon plastic jar, and then the matchstick container gr8jpn refers to. Someone must have missed finding the original container at some point and dropped a courtesy replacement. We put the little cache in with the big one. Maybe someone can take it for another cache. Thanks!

Panorama Land Cache

By: Stash-N-Cache Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

This was an amazing spot. What a view! Quite a contrast between what lies ahead and what we came from. We were suprised to find dozens of cactuses growing nearby. TFTC.

Elderberry @ Fish Lake

By: GR8GPN Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

On vaction from California, and tenting at Mackinaw GC for a couple days. After lunch at the lodge, I suggested a stroll by the water. What's this??? A log with just STF entered! Amazing, an FTF, and our first out of state! Woot! Fish Lake was amazing and we'll definitely come back another time. Sorry for the late log, and TFTC!

Pirates Cove

By: halefire Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

By: Blubllz & Flower_cacher Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Great spot for a bench! Thanks for leading us here. We enjoyed the view after a brief afternoon shower had passed through. Beautiful!

Sweet Water Spring

By: ForJeppsHunters Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Cool spot! The water tasted great! The mosquitos were mighty thick though.

Fun For Kids 3!

By: brentr Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

What a great view of the lake and marina! On the way up, we were a bit too impatient, and ended up bushwhacking straight up the hill. Whew! They boys were complaining a bit on the climb, but after getting a chance to explore and scramble around on the rocks were all smiles. On the way back, we took the logical path along the trail. TFTC.

Black Hawk Indian war #3

ATV Bridge

By: Dennis & Rick Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

A good place for a stop on our trek to Fish Lake. The kids played on the bridge for a while and we found your cache. Thanks.

Koosharem, Utah

By: CaverSpencer Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

That's one strange name for a town! Thanks.

By: CaverSpencer Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

By: CaverSpencer Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Angling for Fish Lake, but not so fast that we skipped your cache. Thanks!

CAU-Piute Co

By: Cache Across Utah Crew Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

Getting closer to our objective, Fish Lake. Those clouds look a bit threatening...I wonder if I'll get the tent up in time? TFTC.

We Remember.....

By: mooseman70 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Still heading towards Fish Lake, and picking up caches along the way. A convoy of classic cars passed while we were signing the log. Most were flying stars and stripes: very patriotic! TFTC.

The Ghost Town of Bodie

We had a fantastic visit to Bodie. Very cool place, and incredible history! Thanks for marking the spot.

Lone View Cache

By: atvexplorers Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Wait! I think I can see that great big blank spot on the map from here! Love the wide open spaces! TFTC.

Bodie Cache

By: The fossillady Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

The first day of our vacation, and on our way from the Bay Area to Bodie via Tioga Pass. What beautiful views all along the way! TFTC.

Downtown Benton

By: mrsr71 Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Other

Lots of little ups and downs along Hwy 120! The kids got a kick out of that. I loved watching the sunset on the mountains. Benton is a lovely place! TFTC.

Brothel Junction

By: jahoadi and john Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

A quick find on our way to Tonopah for the night. Thanks for marking the turn.

No Gambling Here Any More

By: ExelFTer Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

A quick find, and then we spent some time exploring the ruins. The ransacked motel rooms were creepy! As we were finishing up, the dogs at the nearby houses (occupied, and behind a fence) started barking wildly. We stood in amazement as a dozen wild horses galloped by not 50 yards from where we stood. Very cool! TFTC.

No Vacancy

By: graniterhino Difficulty: 3.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Not chosen

Awesome! I'm grinning right now thinking about how much I enjoyed this cache. Thanks for the enjoyable hunt.

Lisa's Cache

By: graniterhino Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I got distracted by another typical hiding spot nearby, but then zeroed in pretty quickly. Lisa's in on this one, right? [;)] TFTC.

San Carlos Train Depot redux

By: NavySparksandtheMrs Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Amazingly enough, I've never found a cache on June 12th before, so I've been saving this one because it was close and convenient to home, and I knew the day was going to be busy. As others have noted, it was a bit of a struggle! Well hidden, and lots of good history! Thanks for a very interesting tour through the years.

OYSTERS

By: thompth Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Micro

I work nearby, but haven't gotten out for a lunchtime walk in quite a while. Thanks for the motivation and a bit of a challenge with the find. Clody and cool today, very nice!
