There is a straight narrow road where the base is carried out when the map in the vicinity of the Yokota base of Tokyo Fussa is seen. This road is a mark in the Hamura Yamaguchi light railway (alias). Cache was concealed in this disused line mark.
The Hamura Yamaguchi light railway is an orbit for the construction of the Tokyo waterworks bureau set up to transport gravel for the dam construction of the Murayama reservoir and the Yamaguchi reservoir. It seems to have been transported the canal lift and there around in having exceeded Oume Line from the vicinity of the weir of Tamagawa Hamura ahead with the light railway. The Yokota base is constructed in shape to divide these in two to our regret, and this part has disappeared completely though the most remains as a community road or a stroll road now.

東京福生の横田基地付近の地図を見ていると、基地を貫くまっすぐな細い道があります。この道、実は羽村山口軽便鉄道（通称）の跡なのです。
cacheはこの廃線跡に隠されています。
羽村山口軽便鉄道は、村山貯水池や山口貯水池のダム建設用砂利を運搬する目的で設けられた、東京都水道局の工事用軌道です。多摩川べりの羽村の堰付近から青梅線を越えたあたりまではインクライン、そこから先は軽便鉄道によって運搬されていたそうです。現在も、そのほとんどが生活道路もしくは遊歩道として残っていますが、残念ながらこれらを二分する形で横田基地が建設され、この部分は完全に消滅してしまった様です。
