Geocache Description:

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.
