The road is very rough and will be muddy after rain. 4x4 is not a must; I have taken a 2x4 to this location many times. Must have good ground clearance!
But where is the water. I placed this cache one of the shore lines of Ancient Lake Lahontan.
Ancient Lake Lahontan was an enormous endorheic lake that existed during the ice age, covering much of northwestern Nevada, extending into northeastern California and southern Oregon At its peak approximately 12,700 years ago (during a period known as the "Sehoo Highstand"), the lake had a surface area of about 8,000 square miles (20,700 km²), with its largest component centered at the location of the present Carson Sink. The depth of the lake was approximately 800 feet (240 m) at present day Pyramid Lake, and 500 feet (150 m) at the Black Rock Desert.
Climate change around the end of the Pleistocene epoch led to a gradual desiccation of ancient Lake Lahontan. The lake had largely disappeared in its extended form by approximately 9,000 years ago. As the surface elevation dropped, the lake broke up into series of smaller lakes.The cache is in a plastic 2 Qt. Canister. Stuff In The Cache @ The Time It Was Placed:
Geo - Letter
Log Book, Pen & Pencil
compass
Disney pencils
emergency blanket
