I started out from Laughlin and headed for a cache called The Eyes have it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Eyes have it<\/p><\/div>\n

The first time I tried this I came up from the backside as my GPS had it 131 m away until I got to the top to find there was a bit of a cliff to deal with. No thanks not alone. I could see a road so down I went and drove around to climb up the right side.<\/p>\n

\"view<\/a>

view of the car from the cache<\/p><\/div>\n

While climbing up I was looking at the description and noticed that this had been DNF before me and the cache was replaced some months back. Would it still be there. I arrived at the top and there it was the first place I looked.<\/p>\n

From here I headed north where I grabbed several more along the way. I did one in a outhouse<\/a> in Searchlight then I headed on.<\/p>\n

\"good<\/a>

good road?<\/p><\/div>\n

I came in a different way to try and clean up more of the Grandpa Series. Okay road looks good.
\nI then come around the corner to see this:<\/p>\n

\"what<\/a>

what the?<\/p><\/div>\n

No power lines only solar or generator.<\/p>\n

Yes there was a cache up here at the corner of:<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a>

the corner of Copper Hill Road<\/p><\/div>\n

From here I continued on to a very interesting road. This was no longer what I had been driving on and not in the same condition.<\/p>\n

I manged two DNF’s here, one because of a Hornets nest near a old truck. I have a bad allergy problem to stings and I carry a pen but to have it happen along would not be the wisest thing I could do.
\nI did find a mining claim on the second DNF<\/a> but I couldn’t find the cache if my life depended on it.<\/p>\n

\"One<\/a>

One of the roads I came down<\/p><\/div>\n

Some new GrandPa’s were added since last week. Off I go and managed 2nd to find on them. Oh well.<\/p>\n

I also managed to take a wrong turn up here and get lost. I used my cookie trail to get back and out of here and back to the highway.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/a>

Solar Panel farm<\/p><\/div>\n

Now it was off to Las Vegas and back to the Flamingo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
