Geocache Description:

This cache takes you to Valdez's version of "Field of Dreams" and is a convenient stop while coming or going to some of Valdez's other fine caches and popular fishing locations.


The Goldfields Softball Complex is a gem in this community of roughly 4000 year-round residents.  It has four regulation softball diamonds with two featuring grass and two maintained in the more traditional "playground style" using glacial till.  During the "White Nights" of summer, this facility is bustling with activity ranging from weekend long and late night softball tournaments, team practices, field dog training, and golfers working to perfect their short game.  

The pitchers must have an additional advantage over the batters here because of all the distracting mountain views surrounding this facility.  Stop by and enjoy a few innings during summer weekends and enjoy the sense of small-town community that is evident here.

       

The cache is a small container with a log sheet, pencil, and several lapel pins and a ladybug as initial trade items.  It should be accessible year-round regardless of how much snow Valdez gets and you don't need to go inside the fence line.  Please use care when retrieving and replacing the cache to avoid making it inaccessible for the next cacher.

Note on cache maintenance:  Daddy Ladybug travels routinely to Valdez on business, but local cacher Dennifer has agreed to help with cache maintenance in the event of any problems requiring immediate attention.
