Twenty years ago, there were very very few geocaches in Nevada, let alone the world. Caches were placed one or two at a time. You could keep your 50 mile radius down to less than 5 unfound caches.
Cache placements were larger containers with cool SWAG. Sometimes geocaches were placed with "themes" or even "contests". In this case, a race for FTF of a difficult geocache and a special prize. This cache is to honor the Giant Pink Hippo that once lived here.
South of here is an active mining claim. This cache is placed well outside the claim stakes. The mine produces gypum (and gypsum board). They have expanded the excavation but they are still many many years away from getting to the claim stakes.
You can get to the saddle Southeast of the cache in a 4x4 or good high clearance vehicle.
