Geocache Description:

This could have been called "Wander The Desert"!

This is a "Take Your Best Guess" Cache. It involves 9 bricks placed in the open desert. They are up to 400 feet apart, with the furthest one being under 1000 feet from the parking spot (as described below).
Each brick has 3 pair of coordinates. Each set of coordinates will point to a different brick up to 600 feet away. If you pick the correct coordinates, you can reach the cache in 3 legs, the worst you can do is to find all 9 bricks (unless you find the same brick again and again). Without repeating bricks, this cache will be less than a mile.
You could pass by a brick while making the trek to a different brick. Then it's your decision on what to do from there!

All coordinates are N35 51.xxx' W114 55.xxx'

To get to the start point, go south on Hwy 95 6.5 miles from the 93/95 split to the power lines. There is a guard rail under the power lines, and at the south end of the gurad rail there is a place to cross the highway. Don't let the construction stop you. They did make a place for vehicles to cross the highway here.
Once across the highway, enter through the gate on the north (you'll see what I'm talking about when you get there). You will be on a well maintained dirt road that follows under the power lines. Notice the sign that tells you that vehicles MUST stay on the designated roads. There is also an armed guard in the area that, once he knows that you are following the rules, is a really nice person. He also happens to know where all the caches are in this area. Once you are on this dirt road, follow it 0.6 miles, and park under the tower on the right, nearest the start coordinates. From there you're on foot. Unless you want to deal with the armed guard of course.
Take plenty of water, watch for desert critters, and walk the few feet to the start point and take your best guess.
Please post the number of bricks you found (including the first one), as well as the number of stops (including repeats). If it's too embarassing to post it, please e-mail me so I can keep statistics.

Bonus points for clear skies and temperatures over 100 while locating this cache!
Happy caching!
