Geocache Description:


LDH is Little Desert Hike.  Since my geomobile is a car, I like to find places that I can easily drive a car to.  Park off the road of Pony Express and be ready for a little hike.  If you do the series, it will be a little over 2 miles total and you will end up back at the car.  This is remote area, bring extra water.  I tried to give good hints,  I don't like hiking for a DNF, and assume you don't either.  I also tried to give a little variety.   Enjoy the hike.
