Geocache Description:

'Cavy de Mayo' is a small traditional cache hidden above the Turnagain Arm Trail between the Potter's Marsh and McHugh Creek trailheads.  The view from the cache and from the many other nearby rock outcroppings are spectacular.  Fire Island, Sleeping Lady, the Alaska Range, Iliama Volcano, Burnt Island, most of the Turnagain Arm and Hope are visible from the cache.  Come experience the view, enjoy the trail and see what wildlife you might encounter along the way!!!

The "ET's" were headed to one of the older caches in Alaska, GC594 McHugh View, when they stopped to find one of Cavy's hides.  The area where the hide was located had 'changed' dramatically since '519' had found it.  The smiley was eluding them so coloReido gave Cavy a call and during the conversation, Cavy asked coloReido, "is that redhead with you"?  coloReido said yes, 519 is here along with his collection of bisons!  Cavy knew what that meant and said there is a lot of room out there too.  So being the nice accomodating cachers that they are and after finding their goal of the day, the ET's decided to grant Cavy his cinco de mayo wish, an ET hide to find!!!

The cache is a yellow watertight cell phone dry box that measures 6 in x 1-5/8 in x 3 in.

This cache is placed under Alaska State Parks Permit No 13-KA-1289 GeoCache AK.

Come find this cache and grab some others in the area, including one of the oldest in Alaska while enjoying the views of Turnagain Arm and the wildlife you might see along the way!
