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.

This cache is perfect for a Travel Bug rest stop. It was raining pretty hard and I still got the Honda Civic within 10 ft of the ruins. I wonder what it was before it became a pool. Ha Ha, it really isn't meant to be a pool, but it's full of water. Dropped off Boomerang TB. Happy Caching!

The ruins seem to collect rain water well. There was about a foot of water inside them. For a second I was afraid I was gonna have to get wet to find the cache. The rain had completely buried the cache. I had to dig out some dirt to find it. I'm glad I saw a little hole here. Interesting spot, makes you curious about what used to be here.
