Monitor Cache Traditional Geocache

Driving home from Las Vegas, we stopped at Topaz Lake to have some dinner and fix a nearby cache. I also drove around a bit to find a suitable place to hide this cache, since there were no others in the area to satisfy page 91 of the DeLorme Challenge. I checked a couple of areas near the Walker River, but nothing seemed both muggle-proof and flood-proof. Finally I stopped at the small rest area at the intersection of highways 89 and 395 to formulate a plan, when I spotted the small rise that holds this cache.

At first I just planned to take some pictures of the view, but when I walked over here I found some indentations in a rock that may have been used to grind flour by some early civilization. I also found a good place to hide the cache. The indentations in the rock are about 30 feet to the north of the cache.
