Happy May! The sun is beginning to shine, the tourists are beginning to come, and the GeoTrail we have on the Kenai Peninsula is gearing up for it’s third summer!
I personally am inviting you to join us in Seward on June 1 st for our Third Annual picnic kick-off for the GeoTrail – a series of 23 geocaches located in the historic Kenai Mountains Turnagain Arm region, highlighting history, geography, and cultural sites from Girdwood to Seward to Cooper Landing. If you haven’t worked on finding the caches in this series, I highly recommend it! Each cache is an ammo can, so it’s perfect for a family friendly adventure.
I also recommend checking out the “Cache Odyssey – Alaska” cache, located inside the Kenai Chamber Visitor Center during business hours. It’s part of the official Northwest Cache Odyssey GeoTour series, and an incredibly creative gadget cache! If you’re more in southcentral, a trip to Wasilla will bring you near the “Cache Across America- Alaska” cache – one of 50 as part of a tour across America.
We’ll also start seeing more events! We love whenever visitors come to Alaska, either as a cruiser or independent. Since we’ve got such a bounty of caches that are incredibly accessible, I recommend going to the events hosted by visitors to share your favorite cache spots with them!
Overall, I hope you get to play tourist in your own state. Go to a festival, visit a new city, or find a new cache on a trail you haven’t seen before. Let’s enjoy our gameboard!
Yours,
