I love this part of Nevada
There is so much to explore and discover in the high desert East of the Sierra Nevada divide. Not only are there great natural spots, like the nearby Carson River. But, also there are many cool historic locations as well. The section of the "Great Basin" from Lone Pine-CA to Reno-NV, is heaven on earth, in my opinion. There are not that many virtual caches in Nevada, so I decided to place this reward closer to my home here in the "Silver State".
For this virtual, park here at Buckland's Station and visit four virtual locations nearby to find four answers. Email me those answers and then log the cache. I won't reply to each email unless there seems to be a major error in answering the questions. Please do not post any photos of objects that might give away answers.
I will delete any such photos that give away answers!
