Riding atv's or 4x4's on a tough rocky trail called the Alkali Basin Trail that starts up from the floor at Highway 50 and continues on way past what is shown on topo maps. 

A mile or so past lower cache called the Delta Overlook.  On your left when headed up trail there will be a somewhat  overgrown side trail into the trees and you may even hear rushing water somewhere.

Trail ends quickly and you can walk toward that rushing sound.  Must be the real Alkali Creek!

If you wish to continue on the main trail and climb further up be aware that the most challenging narrow rocky climbs will be next and only experienced riders should take this on.   trucks probably can't make it.  At the top of this lengthly gnarly climb you will reach a beautiful open meadow and a sign placed by the Delta Search and Rescue..and another cache.  None of this trail shows on the topo maps...but you can go all the way to the intersection with the Pipeline Trail that comes up from the Devil's Thumb golf course as we have met even trucks coming up that way although we hear it is very very tough for them.

Out for the day to see if we can add to our cache count. Never been up here before and didn't know the road was so ROUGH! Good thing we brought the side by side. That helped but it still got really bad later on. At least we found some caches!!!! Just not THIS cache! We looked on the way up and again on the way back down.

Park in clearing a bit downstream of the cache and walk up the old road. No need to bushwack.
