BlueRajah: I am archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

I had hoped that the cache may be replaced, or a note placed that you were going to go check on this cache in the near future.

Geocache Description:

This cache is out in the middle of the desert. There are campgrounds nearby. For the most part you can drive right up to it except of the final part of the search. Dry area, bring water, and a camera... one of the best views i've seen in a long time!!

Pony Express Station º87


Whether you are going North or South on highway 36, turn West at the BEER shack. It is on the East side of the highway. Follow the signs on the dirt road to Simpson Springs. DO NOT ENTER THE ARMY BASE. They probably would not like that.

Once you pass the Pony express monument you will proceed into the camp ground area. Look for the black rock. It is one of the pictures included with this description.

4x4 is needed if you're driving to the rock, else you can walk it. Its not too far at all. walk along the right side and you must use your GPS from there.


The day I was out there the army was conducting come kind of practice. Bombs were going off in the desert. A pic is included. Also: The Mormon Crickets were horrible. Included is a pic where the Seagulls were feasting.


The cache is a pretty good sized plastic pitcher.
