Geocache Description:

The container is an Oxy Clean jar. It's an easy hunt on level ground.

This is another cache inspired by the disappearing past. None of the old maps I have show these ruins. There used to be a lot of abandoned claims, dry wells and other evidence of human activity in this area. Las Vegas isn't known for it's preserving the past. Many places, probably a lot more famous and profitable building than this one, have been bulldozed or imploded.I have no idea who built this and lived or worked here. I also have no information on when it was built or abandoned. I live in this area and must have jogged by here a thousand times before I took a close look.Enjoy the contemplation and the hunt. Think about it, some unremembered someone toiled here for some purpose. Remember this is a highly visible location be discrete and re-hide the cache well.

The cache was archived because of construction in the area that I thought had leveled the ruins. The construction has moved on and the cache is available again, The terrain around it now much easier to negotiate.
