Saturday 11/12/11 Geocaching day on the ET hwy
.
One of the main reasons coming to LV was to travel on the Hwy 375 called the ET hwy. along this route is 1500 geocaches from Clay springs to Tonopah. Caches were very easy to find. About 50-80 ft from the road.
From LV to Clay Springs is about 120mi. Travel on 93 north to 318. Intersection at Clay springs is 318 I 375. Turn left onto 375. Shor distance is the first geocache-ET001. This is a 30m ammo can. The rest of the caches are white 35m film tubes. In the middle of "no where" comes a little community call Rachel. Motel, RV spots and a cute cafe - Litle "A Le" Inn. Had a late lunch. Friendly staff. Met other geocachers. The hi-light of trip was going out to the Area-51. Drove 12mi in from main road. Came across the gate & fence with alot of signs to Keep Out. Took a couple of pictures. More geocaching on the way back on the ET hwy. Then onto LV. Fun day. Once there we went and revisit the MGM casino.
