We came to this area to find geocaches along ET Highway, it is only 12 miles away from where we are camped. It runs very close to Area 51. There are 2000 caches in the ET power trail and about another 1000 extras that are not part of that series. Today was our 1st day of serious caching and we stayed out all day. We found 137 caches. Not bad for old folks. This area is famous for alleged UFO sightings and today we found the remains of an alien lying out in the desert. Note the position of the eye sockets. We did not see any UFO's today. We did see a couple of F-18's doing maneuvers.
There are quite a few Joshua trees in the area including lots of baby ones. We found caches until 5 O'Clock and then as we were finishing up, a car going by suddenly blew a tire and wobbled to a stop. We went over and found 2 girls trying to figure out what to do. Its is a good thing we stopped because they had no tool to turn the jack. After I got the tire changed using my tools, their spare was out of air. Fortunately I had a Viair tire pump. This brand is popular among Jeepers. I pumped up the spare they got underway again. We headed for the trailer and dinner.
