This a small cache, 4" in diameter by 4" high. It's an easy hunt on
level ground.
This is another cache inspired by the disappearing past. None of
the old maps I have show these ruins. There used to be a lot of
abandoned claims, dry wells and other evidence of human activity in
this area. Las Vegas isn't known for it's preserving the past. Many
places, probably a lot more famous and profitable building than
this one, have been bulldozed or imploded.I have no idea who built
this and lived or worked here. I also have no information on when
it was built or abandoned. I live in this area and must have jogged
by here a thousand times before I took a close look.Enjoy the
contemplation and the hunt. Think about it, some unremembered
someone toiled here for some purpose.Please bing a trash bag and
help me clean up the area. Stack a fallen rock back onto the
wall.When placed the cache contained:Pen, Pencil, logbook and
pencil sharpenerCache info sheetA Where's George DollarA pair of
Tropicana Hotel DiceJJAC Geocaching jackA key chain w/magnifying
glassA sled do finger puppetA MGM Grand $1 chipA micro cache
starter kitAn Army pinA deck of Tropicana Hotel CardsA coin holder
for joggers.Remember this is a highly visible location be discrete
and re-hide the cache well.
