Geocache Description:

Easy drive to spot. Roads are packed dirt.

This cache is located in the vast Mojave desert, just outside the town of Mojave itself.

Once intended as a budding, vital development, this lonely place begs for visitors. Depending upon where you are in the area, you can see the trains run, peer at the mothballed jets at the Mojave Airport and watch the propellers on the hills spin. There are some other interesting artifacts here, including a fenced lot that has what's left of a structure and a bathtub-sized swimming pool. Now that's LIVING!

You're looking for a camo-painted plastic Folger's can, hidden in typical desert style. Please try to keep some dead brush on/around the container when you put it back.

Initial contents are:

  • Dark Star DVD (Dan O'Bannon's [Alien] first film)
  • Dryer Balls
  • LED nightlight
  • Geocoin (trackable at calif.geocoin.net)
  • Glow-in-the-dark stars
  • Pencil sharpener
  • Toy truck
  • Kazoo
  • Ugly refrigerator magnet
  • Pacific Stereo sticker

This is a spot in the middle of the desert, so bring water along with you. And do be careful about the local critters. A snake bite is a bad (and expensive) way to end a delightful day of caching!

One other thing. The road that leads past this place is a divided highway, with a painted simulated barrier. If you are approaching from the north, it is ILLEGAL to turn into or across that barrier. If the CHP sees you (they have an office in Mojave, so they're around) do that, THEY WILL CITE. You will need to proceed south and turn around where allowed. Be safe.
