The Old HAWS Radio Cache Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Nomex: Hi rebapac ,

As you may know, there has been a rash of encounters at caches that are illegally placed on private property without permission. As such we are now asking that all caches placed on private property, such as this one appears to be, have the permission of the owner of the property. This is to protect you as the cache hider, as well as future finders of the cache. Geocachers have been accosted by angry property owners and also have been detained and charged by the police for trespassing.

Please let me know if you have permission and who the permission was granted by, so I can add it to the cache page. If no permission was obtained before placing the cache you can either attempt to get permission for placing it there from the property owner, or you can go ahead and remove the cache and find new location that is hopefully not on private property for it.

Don't hesitate to email me via the link on my Profile if you have any questions. [red]Please be sure to include the cache name and GCxxxx number, or better yet, the URL of the cache page.[/red]

Thanks for your cooperation!

Geocache Description:

The Old HAWS Radio Cache has been moved. The new move is an attempt to curtail damage to the other site.

This site once housed a very powerful radio station that communicated with astronaughts of the early space program. The antenna that stood here was 1,200 feet tall. In a breeze it would sway as much as 6 feet on either side of center. That made for a wild ride for the guy who went to the top to change a light bulb. The building ruin is interesting. When you explore it, be sure your flashlight has good batteries as it is very dark inside. As always in the desert, beware of critters and varments that bite in self defense. Enjoy this area.
