Geocache Description:

Is "Terminus" the end of the road?  Or is it just near the Anchorage airport terminal?  Or is "Terminus" a place where "all who arrive, survive"?  


The cache is close to the airport terminal, so it is best to carry ID and be open and honest with any security that might appear.  The cache is a bigger micro-size container and has to be hidden from muggle or zombie eyes, but it is meant to be a fun hunt for Anchorage geocachers and those just visiting.  Parking is easily available on 50th Avenue, a side street, but you must turn off International Airport Road at the traffic light.  The cache is gettable in the winter, but not recommended if the snow is deep.

_____________________________________________________________________________

The Anchorage Airport (ANC) is the fifth busiest cargo airport in the world, after Hong Kong, Memphis, Shanghai and Seoul. That is because if you look at a globe from the top, you can see that Anchorage lies about half-way along the shortest path from Japan and China to the West Coast of the United States.  

FedEx Express and UPS Airlines operate major hubs at Anchorage International for cargo heading to and from the Far East. FedEx Express is the airport's largest cargo facility and can handle as many as 13,400 packages per hour, employing more than 1,200 people. United Parcel Service's hub handles about 5,000 parcels per hour.
