The Extraterrestrial Highway - Nevada route 375: 158km of Nevada desert, more than 1,000 geocaches

More than 1,000 geocaches are hid along Nevada's State Route 375 (The Extraterrestrial Highway) - one every 300m - all on the north side of the highway so if you drive er south to north youll never have to cross the road.... a great place to set a PR...

and what a place! the highway passes though nothing but desert, crosses a couple mountains of 1700m and most interestingly, it runs along the edge of Area 51...

I first heard about this place when i was gathering info to write about the little powercaching i have done - i thought it was a big deal that i found 71 caches in a day - but then i found Elin Carlson's blog about her run down the ET highway -  she found 90 in an hour and 355 before her car broke down...

i got the link to the first cache on the trail from her blog: ET 001 . one of the loggers there claims to have found 1021 caches in a 12-hour period. Thats nuts! Thats a cache every 45 seconds ??!! If you slowed down to only one a minute, then it would take 16 hours.

Anyhoo, Im adding it to the list... they say everyone should see Vegas at least once...
