Welcome to Spenard's Indian Summer Event!
GeocacheAlaska!, Inc. has rented the pavilion in Sisterhood Park
(off Van Buren St behind the Spenard Rec Center), beginning at
2pm. The covered pavilion's huge charcoal grills will be fired
up to cook a simple but tasty selection of burgers and dogs - to
feed your appetite after a full day's Cacheapalooza across
Anchorage. While the meat is provided (courtesy of
GeocacheAlaska!, Inc.) we ask you to bring a side dish or tasty
dessert to share
(here's your chance to warm up for the dessert competition upcoming
at December's GeoFest!)
Help us plan for success by registering your intent to attend
early - we want everyone to have fun!
There are picnic tables under the pavilion
cover for dining use, and a special table will be available where
Travelers (trackable TBs and geocoins) can be shown for display or
to travel on. If you bring items for display please mark them
clearly as exhibit-only items.
Leave your yard chores behind - you've already noted the 'No
Treeclimbing Allowed' cache attribute - the clearest way we could
symbolize there's no worries about falling leaves (and their
consequences) at this location! Although Sisterhood Park might be
described as a flat and featureless plain of grass better suited to
use as a rugby pitch, it's ideal for several varieties of GPS
skill games set up for this event. The park itself is
centrally-located for the Spenard Safari Game taking
participants across the core of Spenard towards the end of this 2pm
to 5pm event. There's prizes and raffle items galore... all waiting
for you!
Join us from 2pm to 5pm for a bit of geocaching fun in the
"historic" old Alaskan town of Spenard!
Up until borough unification with the city of Anchorage in 1975,
Spenard was a city unto itself, with a population exceeding 20,000
persons during the early pipeline construction days. Spenard has
always been known as
'where Anchorage goes to have fun' since Joe Spenard
bulldozed Spenard Road into existence in 1916,
so Anchoragites could come out for parties along the shores of
Spenard Lake.
