Geocache Description:

OK Guys! This cache will tell you two things if you find it. One, you will have a great understanding of your physical conditioning. Two, you will know without a doubt that you earned every bit of this find. The road to the cache is rough and requires high clearance and 4-wheel drive. Please be careful of loose rocks during your ascent.  Camoflaged medium size container with a gift bag for first to find, some small swag and log book. Pencil is provided but bring one just in case.


This is an interesting little area we found when checking the internet for caves in Nevada. I think you will enjoy the view and the history of this site. Be advised that the area should only be explored when weather permits. There is a cave here called the Rose Guano Bat Cave that was an active guano mine in the 1920s.  Be aware that the largest Brazilian Free Tail Bat Colony in the United States calles this home between March 1st and October 1st. The cave should not be entered during this time as well as all noise should be at a minimum when near the enterance.  If you want to explore the cave outside of that time be sure to contact the Nevada Division of Wildlife or the Bureau of Land Management for information. If you are there in the evening you should see the mass exodus of nearly 70,000 bats as they fly out and consume nearly 300 million flying insects every night.  The good news is that you will not need to approach the entrance of the cave to find the cache. You might find it interesting that the area near the cache is actually collapsed cave and cave crystal and quartz is abundant.
