To move from cache to cache in Alaskan regions that have experienced gold rushes or are tied to a famous con man, racking up cool photographs and lots of cache visits.  Desired locations include, but are not limited to Sunrise/Hope, Hatcher Pass, Skagway (Soapy Smith), Nome, Fairbanks, and Juneau




About This Item

The Racketeer Gold is in Alaska

This trackable gold bar is in the Land of the Midnight Sun, home of the Golden Heart.  Alaska has a history rich in colorful con men and gold rushes to Juneau (1880), 40-Mile (1890s), Sunrise/Hope (1895-98), Nome (1898), Fairbanks (1902) and Hatcher Pass (1920s-1940s) just to name a few, which makes a great combination for some Racketeer-like adventures.

Recreational gold panning is allowed at three state parks: Chugach State Park, Independence Mine - State Historical Site and Kenai State Park.
