The Denali Series: Landmark
Gap
This ammo can cache is located at a scenic view south of
Landmark Gap. Landmark Gap is described by BLM as "a
glacially-scoured cut in the mountains that formed during an Ice
Age more than 10,000 years ago. The Gap has been a caribou
migration route and a favorite Indian hunting area in centuries
past. The Nelchina caribou herd still uses this area today. The
mountain peaks visible through the Gap are McGinnis Peak (11,400')
and Mt. Moffit (13,020')." The cache is a short distance down a
caribou trail and is hidden to the casual observer by some native
vegetation.
This cache was placed as part of a Father's Day 2007 Geocaching
Expedition to introduce visitors to the vast and unspoiled scenery
of remote Alaska.
Original Contents included a log book and pencil, a small pocket
ulu knife, 2006 AK Geocaching pin, and a Green Jeep TB.
Please use good judgement and planning when traveling the
Denali Highway. The weather can change quickly and services are
remote. Food, water, good tires, and a well maintained vehicle are
required. Many car rentals companies DO NOT allow their cars to
travel this road. The road surface does vary greatly based on
weather conditions and cell phone reception DOES NOT exist along
the 130 mile road.
