OK, if you've been here you probably know where this is. If you've never been there... turn off the highway at N 39 16.046 W120 04.468 and stay on the paved road through the forest all the way to the end (about 20 minutes). Geek Peak? Well, you drive a paved road to within 100 yards of this 8742' summit to "bag" it (you could get out and walk or bike at some point too). Be kind so please walk the last bit on the dirt road, not cross country.
Oh! Skyjumpers on their visit reminded me that the gate gets locked at 6 pm (but it is only about a quarter mile away). Also, the gate at the highway gets closed for the winter so you would have to snowshoe, xcountry ski or smowmobile the 4 miles to the cache after the first snow.
Stuff in the ammo box:
Rocks & Minerals book
Backstreet Boyz stickers
2 dollar bill
Handheld "pattern designer" (batteries included)
Hiking whistle
Navy patch
Eisenhower silver dollar
Tahoe shot glass
Agate slice
Geocaching Nevada Souveneir
Square nail
After finding the cache go to the "facility" and try to spot the 8 lakes you can see along with the fantastic view.
Good Hunting!
