This cache may be a tough one but it is certainly worth it. Some
locals that I know that work out at the Tonopah Test Range (TTR)
showed me this hill and I couldn't resist placing it. Be sure to
bring some good binoculars or a low power telescope and to watch
your track on your GPS as soon as you are off the main road (that
way you can find your way back!).
To get there, head out of Tonopah, NV on US 6 to N 38' 08.977 W
116' 34.778 and turn right on the gravel road. Then turn left at
either N 38' 02.357 W 116' 38.145 or head farther down to N 38'
00.965 W 116' 38.944. Continue down the road for 2.5 miles and you
will come to a cross roads at these coords. N38' 00.229 W116'
36.193; you now have a decision to make. If you have a two-wheel
drive vehicle or would like a smoother ride, continue straigh ahead
to the East-Southeast. If you have a 4x4, take a right and follow
the road all the way around. Wave at the geocache "Golden Arrow" as
you go past the ruins. Then continue down the trail to the cache.
Watch out for Horses!
If you only have a two-wheel drive vehicle, park at N 37' 54.336
W 116' 33.387 and walk in. It's only .37 Mile hike but it is a
pretty good incline. We turned at the parking spot, stuck it in
four wheel drive and headed up the hill.

Enjoy the view. Most of what you are looking at was top secret
for many years and there are some who still speculate that
something is still going on. Be sure to read the letter that talks
about TTR and the 37th Fighter Wing. Who knows what else might
streak through the sky while you're there.
Blue Side Up!
