First Hide...Attu Island, Alaska

I wonder how long it will be before this Cache is found. It's such a remote area with nothing but mountain terrain. It's a WWII historical spot, but there are no residents. There was a USCG Loran Station there, but with new technology, loran isn't needed anymore, so they're packing out.

Anyway, Jeremy is one of the people disconnecting all the technology.

He and the rest of his station here in Kodiak helped put together this cache. It's mostly CG themed with a few gaming and office supplies. It's a pretty cool box...worth going to find for those die hard geocachers out there.

It's not officially posted on geocaching.com yet, but in the next week or two it will be.

The cache is an ammo box filled with all sorts of goodies.

Amongst the small items - super glue, stamp, expired ID card, razor, batteries, Allen wrench, and paperclips - there are some cool collectibles - special PS2 controller, Mario energy drink can, and a Donkey Kong energy drink can - and of course some coast guard memorabilia. With the USCG items, this is a big deal. Besides the USCG mini rubber life tube, the ESU Kodiak COIN is a high honor to receive. Normally given to an active duty CG who does something outstanding, the Chief at the ESU decided it was worthy to be put inside a geocache box. Whoever finds this box must consider themselves very honored if they decide to take that coin. Also, there are two Chief Stripe Patches in the box previously belonging to a USCG Chief. These are also USCG special treasures to not be taken lightly if removed from the box.

If you are a die hard geocacher, this is a MUST to go find this box. It's worth your boat or plane ride to this deserted island. Be the first person to find a geocache in the farthest Westward point on the map. Take something very cool to leave as there are many great treasures to be found in this cache.


I'll leave the rest up to your imagination...

HAPPY CACHING!!!
