CAU-Piute Co

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. mjp303

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. mjp303

On our way to a bit of camping in Mackinaw GC at Fish Lake. Beautiful spot! Thanks for bringing us here. mjp303

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. mjp303

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. mjp303

E.T. 354

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

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. mjp303

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. mjp303

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. mjp303

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. mjp303

WELCOME TO PANACA

By: imapackrat adopted by Dr Webe 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! mjp303

Mike's Memorial Cache

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

OCHT

By: imapackrat adopted by Dr Webe 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. mjp303

The Original 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. mjp303

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. mjp303

Brothel Junction

A quick find on our way to Tonopah for the night. Thanks for marking the turn. mjp303

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. mjp303

10 Miles to Bodie

By: mrsr71 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

A quick find and a beautiful view on our way to Bodie. The wind was calm, and the sky was clear and bright. TFTC! mjp303

Cottonwood Canyon Cache

By: fossillady Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

We decided to take a different route down from Bodie. It was just as smooth as the way up! I trouble finding this cache, but eventually found it by stepping on it. Whoops. TFTC. mjp303

Mono Mills

By: The Fossillady Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

This was a really pretty area, especially in the fading light. I love remote highways! TFTC. mjp303

Bodie Cache

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. mjp303

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. mjp303
