Geocache Description:

Located at a roadside pull out just south of Delta Junction before Ft Greely.

Alaska is a geographical marvel. When a scale map of Alaska is superimposed on a map of the 48 lower states, Alaska extends from coast to coast. Alaska is the United State's largest state and is over twice the size of Texas. However, there are very few Earthcaches listed. This cache was created to help folks learn something about the great outdoors we enjoy.

This fault line really made its presence known November 3, 2002. To learn more of this 7.9 quake visit the Alaska Department of Natural Resources' Denali Fault Earthquake webpage.

Getting outdoors and looking over the landscape is a great re-enforcement to any classroom teaching students received. We are a caching family and highly encourage taking this opportunity to educate a youngster. Being an Earthcache there is NO LOG to sign. To get credit for this cache e-mail Tundra-Quad the answer to the following question.

The Denali fault is the border between what two terranes? Caution: Any spoilers loaded will be deleted.
