Geocache Description:

First Course – Appetizer: In order to tickle your taste buds, we present you with these cilantro infused polenta bites on a bed of flash-fired mint leaves with wild blueberry chutney. Chew slowly and enjoy the flavor cascade! There's a small FTF bit of swag in the lid, so be careful opening it!

Who ever heard of wait-staff that would dare to serve an elegant 5-course meal but not bring out the appetizer until the end?! In order to correct this, I present you this opportunity to adjust your dining pleasure.

All of these “dinner” caches are not meant to be difficult hides even if they are micros. They are generally chest to head high (4-6 feet). Any camouflage or displacement from the trail is simply meant to obscure the container from muggle-eyes. They should be snow friendly (depending on snow accumulation) until possibly late winter.

The Powerline trail going south from Glen Alps provides low-difficulty hiking/biking and beautiful vistas. There is less than 1000 feet of elevation change from Glen Alps parking to just below the Pass in the south at the headwaters for the South Fork (a little over six miles one-way). There are many other caches along the route with relatively minor detours. It is my hope that with the increased concentration, many more will enjoy this easy passage. The other wonderful thing about this route is that is can be the starting point to other, more challenging hikes and climbs … eastern approach to Flat Top and Mahogany Ridge; the back way into Rabbit Lake; the transit to Indian; and the peaks and valleys surrounding Anchorage to the southeast (Williwaw, O’Malley, etc.) Some of the caches out here are dying for visitors!

Bon appetit!
