This cache is just off of Hwy 62, you can walk to it from the Hwy.
This is the first of a series of eleven caches placed today (11-4-07) between Hwy 62 and the Carlyle Gold Mine. The distance from this first cache to the end cache in this series is 2.75 miles as the crow flies. Follow the caches up this road and explore the extensive mine. A 4 wheel drive vehicle, quad or motorcycle is required as the road is soft sand for the first 1/3 mile. A 2 wheel drive vehicle should get stuck. A 4x4 should have no problem. The last 1/2 mile of this series will require you to hike up hill on miner's paths. Bring Water, a camera and if you choose to explore several of the mine shafts you should have redundant flashlights.
This should be a fun series of caches that bring you to a awesome historical area to explore.
