Geocache Description:

519's Insanity Series #1 is a bison hidden along the Turnagain Arm Trail between McHugh Creek and Rainbow Trailheads. The closet access would be from the Sunshine Parking Area/Trailhead.


This series and cache were named as a result of a conversation I had with another cacher about my hides. He said I could start a series named this with the caches I had already hidden. What fun would that be!?!?!?!?!

The caches in this series may be the result of difficulty, terrain or most likely a combination of the two!

WARNING...No cache is worth risking your safety for a smiley. Some of the caches in this series might make you question this. If you do, skip the cache!!

If you are headed to find only this cache, I would park in the Sunshine parking area and access the Turnagain Arm Trail via the trail from Sunshine. If you are seeking this one in winter time be careful, this trail can be a bit 'exciting'!!! Once you reach the Turnagain Arm Trail head east toward Rainbow for about a half mile.

Caching along the Turnagain Arm Trail can be challenging due to less than perfect gps reception. Those of you who have spent some time along this trail know what I mean! The coordinates for this cache, were taken with two different Garmin GPS' and averaged for 15 minutes. That being said, when you find yourself near GZ let it 'settle' and you will find the cache!

Come visit this cache and the others in the area. There are now more than 20 caches very near the Turnagain Arm Trail between the McHugh Creek and Rainbow Trailheads. You will not be disappointed with the views and the trail!!

This cache is placed under Chugach State Park Permit #12-004.
