Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Aurora Challenge Trail! 
#75 Alaskan Classics
Find a combination of caches that demonstrate the classics & extremes of Alaska


This series of challenge caches was placed by volunteers who are also proud members of GeocacheAlaska! 

The cache IS at the listed coordinates!

This Challenge cache is inspired by the geocaching "Trifecta," which is to find the HQ Cache, The Original Stash Plaque, and the Tunnel of Light APE Cache. To achieve the Trifecta suggests that you have found some of the very best of the best, although these three are all very different in what they offer to the average geocacher. Alaska has some similar "best of the bests," and this challenge is designed to encourage you to find those!

To qualify for this cache, you need to have found a series of caches based on certain criteria. This is to help highlight some of the "classic" and "extreme" caches in Alaska. You can achieve this quickly by getting four specific caches or through a combination of rare cache types in general. If you qualify for this, you MAY have found: 

Cache Odyssey Alaska
Centurion Guards
Black & White & Red All Over
Gilligan's....
Turnigan Arm Tidal Bore Earthcache
Camp Skagway No. 1 
South Central Alaska Delorme Challenge
Big Denali
Touch the Sky

... and a few other awesome caches! Read below for the points system details.
