This cache is one of three created by The Central Landmark Program, a course on Geospatial Technology offered at Central Middle School in Anchorage, Alaska. Students in this course investigate Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) as part of their curricular studies. Geocaching has been an exciting way for students to expand their knowledge and create legacy projects for years to come.

This cache is featured in the Anchorage Convention and Visitor’s Bureau brochure on Geocaching and GPS, offered to visitors and geocachers in the Summer of 2007.
