Geocache Description:

HERE IS AN EASY TO REACH, THREE SEASON, HIGH COUNTRY CACHE WITHIN TWO TENTHS OF A MILE OF OUR COUNTRY'S MAJOR CROSS COUNTRY FREEWAY

The I-80 Summit cache is above the highest point of this highway, at least in the West, and is located just 0.15 mi from easy parking. Many have visited this Rest Stop, but how many have ventured beyond the rest rooms? Here is your chance! During three seasons of the year the way is easy, although I would advise good shoes. Once the snow falls, however, you are on your own!

The cache container is rectangular in shape, measuring 6" x 12" x 3" deep, and is colored in a way that may make it difficult to spot. 7/15/2005 Update - the container is now a small Ammo Box. 6/27/09 Update - Another container change. Now a simpler small/medium container. When placed it contained:

  • A LEGO Cameraman from DragonSlayer Cache,
  • Two small pencil erasers,
  • A Bag of Body Parts,
  • A Chap Grip from Sandy Cove Cache,
  • A Bubble Pendant,
  • A Flashlight,
  • A Personal Mini-Fan from Historic City Cache,
  • Twelve New Quarters,
  • A Yellow Frog,
  • A Foam World Globe,
  • A Packet of Flower Seeds,
  • A Tape Measure from I-80 #1 Vaca-Pena Cache,
  • A Collapsable Cup,
  • Some Lint Removal Sheets,
  • A Rubber Snake,
  • And Lip Balm.
Plus a GeoCaching Notice, Log Book, Pen, Pencils, and Sharpener.

Enjoy your break from the long drive - get close to Nature - breathe some fresh air - enjoy this cache - and Have Fun!
