An easy cache for a quick find in the Earthquake Park area on the
western end of Northern Lights Boulevard, Anchorage, Alaska.
Wanted to get my first cache set out and decided to make it an easy
one. Got about ten to fifteen minutes? Then drive out Northern
Lights Blvd. and park at the lot located at N 61 11.769, W 149
58.631. From here, you'll have a nice paved trail to walk on for a
ways before heading into the birch forest for an easy stroll to
this cache.
The cache is a large rectangular tupperware container (big enough
to hold a loaf of bread) that has been covered with duct tape to
give it a unique Alaskan character. :)
Be sure to visit the Earthquake Park exhibit and read about the
events that took place here in 1964. A whole lot of shaking went
on!
Update 8/11/09 with cache replacement:
The container is a small container vice regular (the photos will
not help) and only has room for smaller items. Please, no swag. The
container is not hidden the same way as the original. As it was
previously, the cache is not snow-friendly. When found, be very
careful to erase your caching traces. This place is often visited
by muggles (accompanied by choice beverages). I would rank this
with a Difficulty/Terrain of 2.0/2.0 to start and see what the logs
poll.

This was memorable!! Ladybug Kids hooked me up to his geohounds, geared me up with X-C equipment, and off we went on the Coastal Trail skijoring! VERY, VERY fun! One stop along the way, and this was it. We poked around in the snow, looking (again) for the regular-sized cache, when finally I spotted the cache. didn't manage to see it without snow a few months ago, but today it worked. Thanks for keeping this one alive, I now understand that Capra Hircus has replaced the original, and I see how he can't change the size of the cache on the description. Neat location, wild history, and today--a pretty cool way to get around! Thanks!
