Geocache Description:

An easy cache with a little high grass and thorns, plus a nice view!


How often do you wonder where your electricity comes from? Do you wonder where those electrons have traveled from every time you flip a switch? If you're like me, you probably don't think about it much. Well, this cache is located near some large power lines that run north of town. Make sure to look west for an impressive view of the huge lines disappearing to the horizon!

To the west the power lines run all the way to the power plant in Monahans, then from the cache location, they turn south and end at a substation in east Midland. All so you can load up your computer and read geocaching.com!

The cache is about 400' from the road, the path is mowed and well maintained until the last 100' feet, where you'll have to walk through some knee high grass and avoid the mesquite and cactus. Make sure to wear long pants and boots. The container is a medium-sized thermos wrapped in camo duct-tape.

Original contents: Beanbag frog, beanbag turtle, toy car, bouncy ball and a pocket screwdriver

FTF Prize: A Pocket First Aid Kit!

Make sure to take a picture of yourself and your Geocaching buddys with the included camera! Once all the film is used up I will put the photos into a Photo album for the cache!
