Greatland Reviewer: Archiving at the Land Owner's request. Please read the e-mail sent on August 29, 2015, with the subject line "[GEO] From Greatland Reviewer: Caches on Private Land in Hatcher Pass" for details.
For all other interested cachers:
A representative of Gold Cord Mine, Mountain Heather Investments LLC, contacted me and requested archival of a dozen geocsaches that are on private land without permission in the Hatcher Pass area. An increase in active gold mining that includes surface blasting which creates a public safety hazard and geocachers’ reluctance to leave the area even when warned about their trespass and immanent blasting prompted the request. .
Ownership information may be reviewed at http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmaps.matsugov.us%2Farcgis%2Frest%2Fservices%2FParcelViewer%2FMapServer&source=sd . You will have to manually zoom close enough into the to the area of interest to see the parcel boundaries and select Measure, Location and pick Degrees or DMS. Coordinates will now display when moving the cursor on the map.

Geocachers are reminded that the Guidelines require obtaining permission from the Land Owner before placing a geocache.
