Reno High Roller Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

TopDeadCenter: It is indeed gone. The plastic toy-gun pellets in the area lead me to beleive that the local-area kids lifted it. Well at least it lasted nearly 5 years.

RIP Reno High Roller!

Geocache Description:

This site is conveniently located within the city limits. This cache is located off of the Huffaker Lookout trail, in Southeast Reno. The trail is well maintained, and covered with gravel. Go to Huffaker Park on E. Huffaker Ln. The trail is at the back of the park, and is clearly marked. The actual location of the cache is off of the main trail, in typical Nevada terrain. (ie sagebrush, rocks and possibly snakes, so watch your step.)

The large white building at the bottom of the hill, to the east, is IGT, the world's largest slot machine manufacturer. So I thought I would start this cache off with some slot machine related items. The original contents: --Several slot machine tokens from various casinos around the U.S. and Canada --Several Reel Strips (Reel Strips have the symbols that spin when you pull the handle on a slot.) --A log book, pen and info sheet, which stay with the cache. If you want to leave an item, it does not have to be gambling related. (But if you hit a jackpot at one of the casinos, feel free to leave it in the cache.)

The cache is in an ammo box, painted to blend in with the surrounding rocks. You might see a few people on the main trail, so be "low key" if you've found the cache, so you don't give the location away.

After you have found the cache, there is a nice view of Reno if you hike to the top of the Huffaker Peak. (It's the tallest peak, trail begins across from the gazeebo.) There is even a benchmark at the top.

This cache is located beneath the flight path of the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. If you're lucky, a C-130 Hercules might fly overhead. They are assigned to the Air National Guard High Rollers.

Good luck and have fun.
