This cache Can be Found 3 miles down Rasor Road, off Hwy 15. Offroad vehicles recommended.There is a lot of sand to drive thru to get here. You are looking for camo container made to blend in.
We picked this spot for 2 reasons. One because we like to camp here for off road riding. The second reason is to honor the Kangaroo Rat the lives here. We have found a lot of evidence of this elusive little rodent while riding the dunes around here. This cache location is one of them. You will be able to spot tracks and droppings all around the cache site. You should also be able to smell the waste from the little critter. The Kangaroo Rat has specialized kidneys which allow them to dispose of waste with very little output of water. Therefore their waste tends to smell very strongly of what they like to eat.
