Warming Up: Nanuk Visits Anchorage Mystery Cache

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.  To find the best parking, add 0.232' to your final northing and add 0.434' to your final westing and enjoy a pleasant walk through the forest and enjoy a local creek.

I, Nanuk, have been honored by GeocacheAlaska! by being featured on the 2008 Alaska geocoin.  I, Nanuk, was given one of the first completed coins and wish to pass it on to a deserving Alaskan cacher before the coins are available worldwide via online sales.  Cachers who miss being the FTF will get another chance to obtain coins at the hOlly jOLLY hOLIDaY pArty, in Anchorage on December 6, 2007.

To find the coin, you must first pay tribute to some of my many genus Ursus relatives scattered around Anchorage.  Don't worry, none of these characters will bite, but I do have cousins in the woods who may not be as accommodating even though they should be fast asleep this time of year.

The location of the cache is:

N 6A° BC.DEF'          W 1GH° IJ.KLM'

To determine the cache's location, go to the waypoints listed on this cache page and match each waypoint with one of the pictures below.  Then  substitute the number below the picture for the letter in the location listed above.  Some of the scenes pictured can be viewed from a car while others will require looking around a little bit.  All bears are available twenty-four hours a day seven days a week except for the one that you couldn't touch anyway.  Happy hunting!

This cache was inspired by "A Tour of Downtown," (GCPZPB), in Tulsa, Oklahoma, placed by yogiabb, who had been inspired by a similar cache in Las Colinas, Texas, called "The Royal Tour."
