Geocache Description:

This cache has to happen. Groom Lake Road cache, respectfully created, while on easy terrain, is a bit remote to drive to. Enter and leave via the paved ET highway (route 375). Once done , return the way you came
Just take plenty of water with you and gas your car when you can. Obey all signs on Groom Lake road. This cache is a considerable distance away from the actual Area51 and is therefore considered legal by all standards. Be respectful to any personnel though.

The cache was a Yellow & Clear vinyl/plastic jumper cable bag , originally full of some space stuff and a complimentary water supply. Replenish it if you have an extra bottle to exchange. Obey the No-Trespassing signs if you proceed any further down this road. You cannot go beyond the signs. Use your typical desert common sense on any critters and have a supply of water with you. We'd like to soon relocate this cache back further to ET Highway (route 375) which is the road you use to get to this cache. The cache was changed to an ammo box but is now believed conficasted, so people are placing items wherever at the coordinates. I'll make this a virtual cache if this continues.

This cache was launched on April 8th, a date with significance in Maryland uFo history in 1988 when 5 strange objects were spotted near the Bay Bridge and a nearby neighborhood there. Believer or not, we hope you enjoy finding the cache and take in the scenery. Oddly it was visited recently on the birthday of one of its creators. Once you go back to the paved road on ET HIGHWAY, go another 20 miles to the "Little Ale-Inn" in Rachel for refreshments , UFO museum and gift shop.
