Placed on top of rocky/sandy hill at the Rasor Road OHVRA in
wonderful So Cal. Cache elevation is 1266ft above sea level. A 2wd
truck can get you the base of the hill, but steep hike, dirt bike,
or hard core 4wd vehicle will get you to the top. There are several
roads/trails to the top from all sides of the hill. Best way to get
to base of hill is via Rasor Rd exit from highway I-15. Follow
Rasor Rd heading south of highway.
Welcome to the Rasor Road Sand Dunes!!!
During our anual Rasor Rd riding trip, I decided to hide a chache
out here so that other cachers can see this really great sandy and
weird area. The key word here is SAND. This area used a water stop
for the T&T (Tonopah & Tidewater) Railroad transporting
Borax from Death Valley to Barstow and to Los Angeles. Some of the
original railroad bed is still there, and even has some ties and
wood posts intact! There was also the Rasor Ranch house, but that
has since been destroyed. The foundation and a comemorative plaque
still exist.
Remider: This is the extreem California remote desert!! It can
be very hot in the summer time, and very cold in the winter. Check
the weather reports for Barstow, CA. and Baker, CA to get an
approximation. This area is also subject to flash flooding. This
area IS the Mojave River Wash.
The find should be simple, but getting there is the tough
part.

Cache is a small Tupperware type platic container.
** The tupperware lid is labled as 'The Wal Mart Cache' which was

Out on a run with some of the Scoutswest boys and thought this would be a good cache to start with. We all enjoyed the trek to get there, and the youngsters enjoyed their first cache. Some of us had a harder time getting up the hill than others, but fun was had by all. TNLNSL
