Should be a quick find. The road should be fine for most vehicles. Except when wet then it can get kind of slick. Bring a writer & camera, when we placed the cache their were several big horn sheep in the area.
A little info about the area...In 1964 the U.S. Air Force, built the Green River Launch Complex, just out of Green River. It was an annex of the U.S. Army's White Sands Missile Range. From 1964 to 1973 the U.S. Air Force launched 141 Athena Missiles from the Green River launching area, over 400 miles, to White Sands New Mexico. The missiles were tracked by radar as they re-entered the earths atmosphere. From those firings research was done to improve nuclear missiles. The Army also did live firing exercises of the Pershing missiles until 1974.
