Dogliest: Sorry to see this one go, as it is a good location, but it has now changed a lot with some additional temporary buildings and all. I hope someone else creates a fun one for this area.

Geocache Description:

Downtown Anchorage can be a hard place to keep caches away from muggles, so please use stealth while looking for the cache and be 100% honest with authorities if they ask you. You are looking for a micro-sized cache in a restaurant parking lot. Might be tough for beginner geocachers. Please be gentle with the homemade container.

The prominent mountain visible to the west and a little north of Anchorage is known as the "Sleeping Lady" but is officially named "Mount Susitna". While the "Sleeping Lady" looks like a big hill, it is actually 4,396 feet high -- higher than the highest point in 25 states -- and its base starts at sea level. But it could be considered a "hill" compared to Denali at 20,321 feet which can be visible from Anchorage on extremely clear days.

There are many stories and about the "Sleeping Lady" mountain, including both old Alaska Native stories and settler stories, and you can read some of them by clicking on "Related Web Page". A brewery near the cache is named after the mountain.
