LA to Vegas/Vegas to LA swap valt

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


No swapping, but close enough to stop for a drive-by. TFTC.




Out in the corner

By: Huggy_D1 and Moose Mob Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro


Yeah, definitely a corner of a DeLorme page. Since I'm in the sedan on this trip, it was much appreciated. Having travelled Route 66 yesterday, I'm wondering if this place will eventually suffer a similar fate. There's a thought! TFTC.




Mirror, Mirror on the wall

By: Rallye Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Thanks for pointing out this interesting spot. I was suprised that there were no fences to keep me out. I did approach a bit to check things out, but figured I better not wander too close. TFTC.




Another Tortoise Themed Cache

By: armynate Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


No live tortises to be seen, but I did step over their fence to find your cache. I suppose they have the good sense to stay out of the sun though. Thanks.




Not Making the Grade

By: CactusKid Co Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small


I felt fortunate to have made the grade. There were others nearby were attempting to cool off (tough to do in this heat!) before making the attempt. TFTC.




Shopping in Nevada!

By: Moose Mob Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro


Despite having spent the night in Las Vegas, this was my only NV cache on this trip. Thanks.




F.I.R.M. Tokens at Jackhammer

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


Jackhammer Pass. I like that name. Thanks for the DeLorme page!




Ghost of Tommy Trojan

By: mtngirls Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


I never met Tommy Trojan, but he sure seemed like a nice fellow. Cache On!




Sandy Valley Trail 9 of 9

By: notsonew2 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


I was hunting DeLorme pages today, and saw this line of caches that nipped a corner. Thanks for getting me off of the well-beaten path!




Sandy Valley Trail 8 of 9

By: notsonew2 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Hot, and no one in sight. Hope I don't break down! TFTC.




Sandy Valley Trail 7 of 9

By: notsonew2 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


Hot and bone dry right now. Any water has long since evaporated from this place. I can't imagine there'd be much for cattle to eat out here anyhow. TFTC.




Sandy Valley Trail 6 of 9

By: notsonew2 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


I still haven't seen anybody else on this road since I left the interstate. Where does it go? I'll probably never know. Thanks for the caches.




Sandy Valley Trail 5 of 9

By: notsonew2 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Okay, time to turn around. I've got to be back in the Bay Area tonight. Love these lonely roads though. TFTC.




Feel The Power

By: DTSpec Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


I'd love to get a little dirt under my wheels, but vacation is rapidly ending and I've got to be back in the Bay Area soon. Thanks for pointing the way though.




Motlah's 14/395 Run - Mojave

By: Jackcheese and Motlah Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro


I needed gas and food. Your cache happened to be nearby. Thanks!




Ler

By: LancerKath Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small


Out for a drive in the desert. A whole lot of nuthin' (...except me and the geocaches!) Thanks for the hunt.




Foxtails and Softtails

By: d three and cappie g Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Plenty of soft tails, but the foxtails are all gone. This spot is soon to become somebody's service access...if the economy rights itself. Sigh. TFTC.




MOTEL STIX - NIPTON

By: radarsdad Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


Sorry, I'm not going to stay. Just passing through. Thanks for the break though.




The Arvin "Y" Bug Hotel II

By: sloigo Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


Feeling a little queesy after all of the twists and turns down the hill, this turn-off was a good break. Thanks for the chance to stretch my legs.




Blown Engine Cache

By: Boris and Natasha Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


While finding this cache, I saw some folks who had suffered a similar mechanical fate. Probably not all that rare, unfortunately. TFTC.



Happy Harper Haven

By: jeanthebean Adopted by Autoteach Red Lady Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular


The autorouter completely failed on this one as it told me to come in from the east along a powerline road. That would have been okay in the Jeep, but today I was driving the Camry. FAIL. Fortunately the signs along Hwy 58 saved the day. Plenty of evidence of water in the vicinity of the cache, including rusty spots on the ammo can, but all of that has long since evaporated in the summer heat. Interesting place though. Thanks for pointing the way.




YELLOWDOG6

By: Team Yellowdog Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular


Had to stop when I saw the name of the exit! Suprisingly, there was another car in the 'parking' area. Those folks didn't get out into the heat, and I'll bet they thought I was crazy to do so! Thanks for a little stroll in the desert.




Silver Queen

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


TFTC. I'm not clear on the reason for the name of the cache. Is there a mine nearby?



Lone Butt(e)

By: 1swaslost Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small


Passing through and grabbing DeLorme pages. Thanks for the cache.




The stinkiest part of Denny's

By: t-townsquad Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Why? Thanks for the smilie though.




St Antony's Cache

By: CAKID Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


Caching my way back to the Bay Area. Thanks for the quick stop and diversion through a sleepy little town. It sort of suprised me that the exits are so far removed.
