Geocache Description:

'Waterfront Property' is a traditional micro cache hidden at one of the viewing areas on the Potter's Marsh boardwalk. Potter's Marsh is located on the south side of Anchorage. Depending on when you visit, you will see various kinds of wildlife including many different types of birds, river otters, beavers, moose and maybe even a bear!!! Come find the cache and see the many different types of wildlife that call the marsh their summer home!

'Waterfront Property' is located on the Potter's Marsh Boardwalk. Potter Marsh, a coastal freshwater and brackish marsh located at the southern end of the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge (ACWR) and approximately seven miles south of downtown Anchorage, is one of the most accessible and spectacular wildlife viewing areas in Southcentral Alaska. Managed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), this 564-acre wetland is bordered by spruce, cottonwoods, and alders, and maintained by winding creeks that originate in the majestic Chugach Mountains. Spawning and juvenile salmon, raptors, waterfowl, and shorebirds flourish here, along with resident and transient mammals, amphibians, and invertebrates. The Seward Highway, a nationally designated All-American Road, abuts Potter Marsh to the west, and then snakes around Turnagain Arm, where highway travelers frequently delight in the sight of bore tides and Cook Inlet beluga whales.

When the cache was placed there was a nesting eagle in a nearby tree. There are several nest that can be seen from this viewing area. There seems to be a nesting eagle in one every year! See if you can spot one and let us know where you find them to be

The location of the cache is a high muggle area. Should you not find yourself there with only cachers, do not attempt to find the cache. We hope this hide will survive all the visiting muggles!!!

When you visit the viewing area and GZ enjoy the interpretive displays and see what wildlife you might see. When logging your smiley, tell us what you see and photograph while visiting the Potter's Marsh Boardwalk!
