Geocache Description:

This cache will provide you with an opportunity to learn about and see an area that played a big part in our countries and this areas history during World War II. To really appreciate the history of the area where the cache is located, visit the free museum at the Wendover airport and Wendover Airport Web Site Also pick up the ON THE EDGE brochure at the West Wendover visitors center.

The cache is in a black amo can and loaded with many goodies. Please leave the copies of the ON THE EDGE brochure in the cache so other cachers who failed to get one will know what TOKIO TROLLEY means. Two ovals ( N 40 46.243 W 114 01.091 ) used in the training of gunnery crews of the heavy bomber groups stationed at Wendover during World War II can be seen from the cache. Also ( N40 46.032 W 114 00.758 ) the stationary concrete firing platforms and firing pits are visible.

The cache is best accessed from I 80 Exit #4 four miles east of Wendover. Drive north from the exit and turn left on the first paved road. At the end of the pavement turn right onto the duel dirt road and proceed to coordinates N 40 45.437 W114 00.315. From here turn right and follow the dirt road north to the cache.

There are many dirt roads in the area so let your GPSR be your guide. An automobile should be able to make it on the main road to within easy walking distance of the cache. These roads are not maintained so use good judgment. To visit the ovals, platforms and pits a high clearance or 4X4 would be nice or just a short walk will get you to them.

OH ! There is a cave of NoName in the area too, used in the shooting of a popular action movie. Enjoy.
