This is a quick roadside cache along 95HWY. Cache is more North traveler friendly but South bound traffic can turn at the yellow markers(at own risk). Container has log and can hold 1 small item. I grew up in Nye County and this is my little tribute to one of the best counties in Nevada! (For Geocaching at least, LOL). Nothing special but makes for a good road side stretch. Perhaps I can make this cache a little larger if I find the right container.
