Plugged Near the Bike Path

The Fairbanks caching community is active and growing rapidly with more than 100 caches (up from less than 30 in 2004) within a 30 mile radius.  This is a list of caches in the immediate Fairbanks area that we classify as "drive-up" caches.  Our definition of "drive-up" is that a cacher can park within 1/2 mile of the cache and walk to it without getting muddy.  We built separate lists for North Pole and roads leading out of Fairbanks.
