ET Highway
I went out there a couple of weeks ago and took a run north to do a few of these caches. Here's what you need to know.
The caches start just outside Alamo NV. It's a paved road, straight as a dart for many miles, not much traffic and there's a micro every 600 feet or so, most on the right side of the road if you start in Alamo. While none of the hides are real difficult, you will have to look around to find them. There are no trees so they're on the ground. I was warned to be careful of rattlesnakes due to the warm weather bringing them out of hibernation while I was there. Lady said " They ain't quick this time of year, but they'll bite you real good if you step on one!" I paid very close attention but saw no snakes.
The ride north from Vegas is right though the mountains, beautiful, straight roads with a 75 MPH speed limit. I did all of that and more and didn't have any issues with the local police who just motioned me to slow down a bit (THat was when I was in the mid 90's)
I did 200 in 5 hours and I was humping. If you go with somebody, then the sky is the limit. If you're staying in Vegas it will be 2 hours each way just to get to Alamo. There are 2 hotels in Alamo and not much else that I saw.
Coords on most of the caches were perfect...duh, there's no trees to interfere.
You'll get buzzed by fighter jets somewhere along the way... a real rush to have an F-18 pass 100 feet over your head with the afterburners on!
It was a lot of fun, very SMR'ish. Have fun!
Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.
