Geocache Description:

Regular size container with room for trades and TBs but, BYOP. The container is hidden between the road on the west and the usually dry stream on the east. Do not cross the fence that restricts access to I-15. There are railroad tracks west of the road, don't go near there.


In the shadow of Sandy’s City Hall is Skid Row. This Geocache is named after the tire marks on the nearby road. Only they aren’t made by skidding tires but rather from hard acceleration. Apparently those who test drive the high performance Pontiacs, from the dealership just down the road, are getting a little out of hand. This location is within earshot of the police station, well if you are making that much noise it is. That's my story, the dealership claims the transport company uses this road to test trailer brakes after delivering new cars.

On August 21, 2009 the container and log were replaced. The old container was small and the new one is regular and holds more.

You can park off of the road at N 40° 33.964, W 111° 54.021. The container is a short walk NE from there.

Congratulations to Haa and pj14 for being first-to-find.
