+1stimestar Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I recently started a new job that will have me traveling to remote bush villages here in Alaska on a fairly regular basis. I looked and found no caches near the first one. I'm leaving tomorrow for Allakaket for 3 days. After my first trips to each village I think I'll place some simple caches at each one. They might not get much traffic but they will be there for others who do get to fly in. Quote Link to comment
+JohnnyVegas Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 As long as you can make return trips when they need maintanance there should be no problem Quote Link to comment
+Team Maccabee Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 You should discuss this in the Northwest Forum. There are some very active Alaska cachers that would be very interested. I know there are some caches in the remote interior. Denali View is in Lake Minchumina, and I think I remember hearing about some in Nenana. A couple places I visited a long time ago.... Have fun and spread the cache! Team Maccabee Quote Link to comment

While not as prolific as some (being a single parent) I am an Alaskan cacher. The Denali View is pretty remote but Nenana is on the road system. The villages I am going to are not. One must fly in. Since they will be on my regular route, I will be visiting them on a regular basis in order to maintain them. Though unless they are muggled, they probably wont need much as the traffic they are likely to get will be pretty slow. I am just excited about putting some together for these places.

+1stimestar Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Here are pictures from my first trip. We made one stop at a tiny village before getting to this village. I'm going to be talking to the people at the first airport (on the suggestion of another cacher) about placing a cache there near the airstrip. It was cool as the plane lands and taxis right over to the "lodge". http://www.cloud9doula.com/allakaket.htm Quote Link to comment
+dw Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Those are some awesome pictures. A real window into a totally different world than the one I'm in. I'm glad youre placing some caches in those places, one day if I'm lucky I'll get a chance to hunt them! Quote Link to comment
