Geocache Description:

Hidden at microwave reflector on a peak along a ridge with other caches.

I have been wanting to hide a cache here for some time. From what I have been told this reflector was used to broadcast TV signals for reception by houses in Eagle River Valley; as long as they had line of sight to the reflector they could receive the signal. I believe these went out of use in the mid to late 80s when TV broadcast antennas were put on the tower in Goose Bay. This cache is a small camouflaged thermos. The cache is approximate 300-350 feet off of the trail, depending on where you leave the trail. Easiest approach is leaving the trail before you reach the top of the peak.

Cache placed under GeocacheAlaska! Park Use Permit #15-KA-1994
