In 1980, someone had a home here. Now all that's left is a concrete slab, some curled linoleum, and a number of trees. Somewhere, you will find a camo'd match container.

This cache is in close proximity to the LM Aeronautics - Palmdale facility, also known as Plant 10 at Air Force Plant 42. But it's far enough away that there is no danger of trespassing on Skunk Works property. What's left of this homestead is not very old, by normal desert standards. Hope the original owners were able to relocate to a more suitable location, far away from aircraft noise and rocket engines...! And I hope you enjoy the scenary. I will leave you with your thoughts as you wander and explore.

At my last visit (5/1/09), there was a large owl in residence in a nearby Joshua tree. Be careful not to spook it. You will notice a good collection of owl pellets on the ground under that tree.

BRING YOUR OWN WRITING INSTRUMENT, and PLEASE PLEASE replace the cache carefully and completely!!

October 15 by skiptomilou (544 found) With out a doubt this had to be one of the most beautiful October nights for some night caching. No wind, we all know how the Antelope Valley is unpredictable regarding the wind. The temperature was absolutely perfect, a full moon could of added to the ambience, but a good old fashion mag-light was good enough. Found the cache quickly, even with it's nice camo.
