I have never placed a cache before and I want to make sure that I accomplish this correctly. I have a couple of parks and other places in Anchorage that I want to place a cache in but I do not know who to contact to get the appropriate permissions. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have a couple of parks and other places in Anchorage that I want to place a cache in but I do not know who to contact to get the appropriate permissions. Can someone point me in the right direction? If the parks in question are Municipality of Anchorage parklands, then no permit is required. Requirements and exclusions for other jurisdictions (BLM, Chugach State Park, etc.) may be found on the GeocacheAlaska! website here.If you'd like to discuss specific locations offline, you may e-mail or PM me through my profile. It will be nice to chase hides by yet another cacher!

Anyone's who's ever hidden a cache has probably wondered whether they were on private or public land at one point or another. Google maps has added a feature that displays property lines when you zoom in close enough. You can view the maps from the "Geocaching.com Google Map" or "Google Maps" links on any cache page or by going to maps.google.com and entering the coordinates of a prospective cache location.

OK, but how can I tell if it's public or private? Looking at where the new road (46th or 48th, now called Dr. Martin King Jr. Boulevard) chops through the woods between Tudor and Far North Bicentennial, there's several rectangles. The ones that don't have anything built on it belong to who?

Another helpful site is www.anchoragelive.comWhen you zoom in, you see the map with the lines dividing up the parcels of land. On the left, if you click the "info" button and then click on a parcel of land, the information on who owns that land pops up in a new window. I hope it helps!

The Municipality of Anchorage's Parcel Viewer is also very useful. One can turn on layers for parks, trails, parcel boundaries, etc., and pan the map. I find I sometimes have to click on a parcel twice to get the parcel description, but all in all, it's a nice online application.

If you are talking about the land parcels east of Tudor Center Drive and between Tudor and 48th, as one goes east, the land is owned by the Municipality (two parcels), then Department of Natural Resources (one parcel), then State of Alaska (DOT), then State of Alaska (DEC), and so on.
