What could have been, but wasn't Traditional Cache

It is best to leave dogs at home or leashed as this valley is rife with trapping, including the deadly conibear traps.This was placed under Alaska State Parks Permit #15-AK-1994. Access from Indian is off Boretide Rd, which is a dirt lane that winds its way to the Trailhead. Take the trail along the creek. At the junction of the Powerline and Indian trails, hang a left crossing over a metal footbridge. This cache is on the Powerline Trail NOT the trail to Indian Pass.

CONGRATULATIONS Malcore on the FTF and for using the full power of the insteads!

This cache is dedicated to the infinite possibilities that often give us a chance to stop doing what we thought we were doing and do something else instead.

A spring evening of caching began with searches for Confluence, 1200' Give or Take a Little and Akbike&ski sees a bison at 1200' give or take and progressed towards Indian Creek Trail Cache ... give or take about .27 miles. And the power of insteads was fully activated!

This could have been a path to my 500th find, but it wasn't.

Instead it was a path to a hide with a newfound friend.

This cache could have been set in the downed tree whose limbs bridged the road, but it wasn't.

Instead it was set in a cozy little spot accessible in all seasons.

This hide could have been at sea level, but it wasn't. Instead it sits somewhere along an uphill climb.

It could have been just an idea, but it wasn't.

Instead it became real, when Karma123 pulled the container from her well-stocked pack.

This could have been activated any other day, but it wasn't.

Instead it's a happy birthday cache for tomanoble.

There are two pretty $1 coins for the FTF.

Vive les insteads!
