Welcome to the MA STARGATE! P4271
Put simply, any travel bug arriving at a Stargate TB
Cache can be rapidly transported to another
Stargate TB Cache for eventual pickup.
This cache is practically a drive up. However there is a twist. The owners of this property have given permission for the cache. They know it is here. There will be lots of Muggles, but do not worry feel free to access the cache.
Oh the twist… the cache is an ammo can inside a wooden box with knob handle. The ammo can has a lock on it. The combination is four digits found on this page. If you are color blind, then for you size will be your KEY. The order the digits are pressed does not matter. Please re-set the lock by pushing the pins back to the front or it will not re-lock. This prevents Muggle access since if you have not been to this page you will not gain access.
to the gate. So do not worry if you are seen accessing the STARGATE. 6 is the last digit.
If a TB is left at this cache (ammo can) with a valid Stargate address, the TB will be transported to that specified Stargate TB Cache (for example: if “P3898” is included in the log entry or on a physical note attached to the TB, that TB will arrive at the Stargate P3898 TB Cache). If the TB is left without a valid Stargate address, or has an invalid address, it will be transported to a cache that best advances its goal (in the cache owner’s opinion),or left in the gate for local mission. If travel via the Stargate Network will hinder the TB's goal(s), the TB's travel orders will be revoked.
If a TB owner doesn’t want their TB to travel the Stargate network, quickly contact me (batresq) and I’ll revoke its traveling orders. If the cacher dropping off the TB doesn’t want the TB to travel the Stargate network, include this information in the cache log (both paper and web). The TB will be assigned local support duty. There are two bags in the cache. One for local travel and one for gate dispatch. Please place travelers in correct bag.
Anyone interested in establishing a Stargate TB Cache in the US or Canada that is at least 500 miles from any other Stargate TB Cache please contact, drossdross the creator of the SG1 series of Caches. Different criteria exists for some other countries/continents, so contact (drossdross) for more information for all inquires besides the US and Canada.

(*) TBs traveling overseas, or to other countries, may require multiple wormhole trips to intermediate Stargates to complete their mission. Additionally, a Zero Point Module (ZPM) may be required. Logistics to arrange multiple trips and/or to secure a ZPM may take several weeks or more. If the TB’s Commanding Officer (i.e., owner) does not want the TB to volunteer for such a lengthy, long-distance mission, just quickly contact the owner of originating Stargate TB Cache ( Batresq) and they will revoke the TB’s travel orders - and reassign the TB to local support duties (i.e., redirect the TB to local caches).
Please pick up only arriving Travel Bugs. That is, if you find a Travel Bug that is waiting for transport to another Stargate TB Cache, please leave it in the cache.
While this cache is themed to Travel Bugs, there still a log and trade goods to welcome all geocachers.
This cache is NOT a TB Hotel. Take as many TBs with local missions as you can reasonably help along. Leave as many TBs as you deem proper. DO NOT attempt one-for-one TB swaps, or trading anything for TBs for that matter. Normal trade rules apply for non-TB items.
