Geocache Description:

Rhyolite was established in 1904 by Shorty Harris and E.L Cross who were prospecting in the area. The name of the town comes from the silica-rich volcanic rock in the area. In April 1907 electricity came to the town and by August a mill had been constructed to handle 300 tons of ore a day at the Montgomery Shoshone Mine. The financial panic of 1907 took its toll on the town and by 1910 there were only 611 residents left. In 1916 the light and power were finally turned off

BLM is a proud to help celebrate Nevada's Sesquicentennial and has created six geocaches in each of our districts around unique features that are part of Nevada's history & environment. Happy 150th Birthday and enjoy Nevada's awesome Public lands. Experience America's Great Outdoors with the Bureau of Land Management! All BLM cache sites in Nevada are located on public lands, so you're free to explore the area around the cache. We only ask that you leave these sites as you find them, with no trace of your visit, so others can share the fun and exhilaration of discovery. For More information on Learn more about the BLM Adventurer Passport at http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/prog/recreation/Geocaching.html , where you'll find detailed instructions on how to download your individual passport (PDF) and place stamps from the caches you find in your book. Each Nevada BLM geocache box contains a unique 6-digit hard code and quick code (for smartphone users) that unlock access to an electronic passport stamp for the site. The first 10 cachers to collect all 6 e-stamps and submit them to BLM Nevada Geocache will be awarded a Commemorative Nevada 150th Copper Medallion.
