Somewhere along the old roadbed of the T&T as it crosses Silver Lake, CA
This is a half gallon Mayo jar, cairned on the old Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad grade as it crosses Silver Lake. It could be a little rocky for the first timer, but easy for the experienced GeoCacher.
Please don't drive onto the lake bed, it's undergoing restoration as well as there's a possibility of hitting a sink hole.
Across CA 127 (~10 miles N. of Baker) is the site of the (later) town of Silver Lake and the Cemetary where Death Valley Jack is buried. N35° 22.396, W116° 07.000 for the grave.
The cache is close to where the original (1906-1916) station was located before the flood.
More history of the area is in a little booklet, together with the log - please leave this for the next finder. TIA.
