The first is called, "Thing 1"
It was a road trip day. We packed a lunch and headed down the road, past the base. This one was just past Mayflower Beach and before the stop sign. Easy parking, super short hike, and a great hide! Accessible in the winter. If you can drive there, you can find the cache. Supposedly there's a great view there, but it's so incredibly foggy today that we can't see far at all. The flights into Kodiak have been canceled today due to the fog.
We took a wounded warriors keychain and a wooden lady bug. In its place, we left a butterfly pin and some "@" symbol paperclips.
Big day ahead...time to find the next cache. "Pony Express."
Who knew Chiniak had its own post office? Tiny as it is, it's still cool.
After not too long of searching, Jeremy found it!
We took a CG whistle, and left a toy car and a Windows keyboard button.
Last cache of the day led us deep into Chiniak. We parked along the road and had a half mile hike to the war bunkers which we never knew were there. I so wish it wasn't foggy out. I'm sure the view would be spectacular. This cache, "St. Peter's Head, Battery #1" is a rather new cache placed only a couple of months ago. We're the third party to find it. It's a terriffic cache!
Very well hidden, very great condition, with awesome stuff hidden inside! We took a tiny knife and an official geocaching keychain, and left a toy car, a rock from Massacre Bay on Attu Island, a Wounded Warriors keychain, and a pinecone from the Willamette National Forest in Oregon.
It was a wonderful day geocaching, and now I want to come back to see what kind of views we missed because of the fog.
Until next time...Happy Geocaching!
