Geocache Description:

The cache is in a park on Government Hill that is home to a couple of recreational club buildings. You are looking for a technically small size cache, but it is really more like container mischief (CM).


What Olympic sports has stones, houses, brooms, skips, guards, buttons, sheets, hammers, ends and hog lines?  Even more jargon that geocaching!  Of course it is curling, known as "chess on ice" because of all the strategy involved.  Even the temperature and humidity changes the game strategy.  Come see Anchorage's Curling Club and drop in for lessons and beginner games.

Curling is particularly popular in Canada with every small Canadian town, even in the Yukon, having the right to a government built curling rink alongside its hockey rink.  Even The Simpsons picked up
curling for the Vancouver Olympics.
