Geocache Description:

This cache was placed with hiking in mind. Plan on being out for hours. Not intended for children. PLEASE prepare for the possibility of the usual desert hazards: sun, dehydration, cacti, rattlers, losing the route back to trailhead, etc. The Ten Essentials are important.

Visit http://www.isu.edu/outdoor/ten.htm

Although the route we took was enjoyable (see the cheater), there are other ways to get there. No trail. Map & compass helpful.

7.62mm ammo can
The prize – Salarios de Trabajadores del Ferrocarril
Misc. first aid/emergency items
American pride items
Cholla extraction tool
Camera

This is a Kharma cache. Once “Salarios” is gone, there isn’t much left. Difficulty reaching this cache seems greater relative to the few we have found, so please leave a treasure worth a cache-seeker’s time. Something that will cause the taker to positively associate you with the nice prize you left.

Garage sale reject – Bad Juju! Guarantees a cactus mishap.
Nice prize – good kharma. Results in great rewards in future cache finds.

What’s a good prize? Very subjective, but easy. Just remember, “Do unto others..”

Really, you do not have to leave anything. Enjoying the trip here is reward enough. Please sign the log and take some pictures.

Be safe,
Zeke & Debi

Bonus – Dog Cave. Go 510 ft. to the mound of brown rock. You can see it from the cache at 68 degrees. Search the wind caves for a strange surprise. I do not know who is behind this. Maybe aliens (see Bonus #2).

Bonus #2 – Space ship homing device? What is this thing?
N 32 43.396 W 116 09.732
Update -- The homing device is down, but still there.
