Originally, a Stargate is a ring-shaped devince that uses
advanced technology for nearly instantaneous personal travel
accross vast distances of space. A Stargate is marked out by 9
so-called chevrons which are spaced equally around the Stargate's
circumreference. On an inner ring, 39 symbols are displayed.
Normally connection is always established between the dialing and
the complementary Stargate.
Each location served by a original Stargate has its own unique
"address" which is a combination of 7 or more symbols on the
dialing Stargate. The first 6 symbols describe the destination
while the 7th symbol always identifies the location of the dialing
Stargate. The 8th symbol is used for travel between galaxies, i.e.
it's like some kind of area code. The 9th symbol has not been used
so far.
An original Stargate is typically 22ft in diameter and 64,000
lbs in weight.
Well, this Stargate is just a bit smaller and lighter in weight
too (=Ammobox) but therefore it can actually be bought in a lot of
stores. We can use it for the transport of TB's and Trackables on a
fixed route between Michigan and Austria. However this only happens
if this is explicitly requested. A "box in a box" is available for
this. This inner box is a Tupperware container within the Ammobox
and should be used for TB's and Trackables which are bound for
Europe. It's like a lobby and referred to here as the VIP-Lounge
:)
Once put in the VIP-Lounge TB's and Trackables should not be
removed from the Lounge anymore, please keep this in mind (except
the owner of course).
The discovery and use of the Stargate should be something
special so you have to figure out the following code first.
Interpret the following symbols correctly and the cache is only a
short walk from the parking location. Depending on conditions trail
can be muddy!
N ° 0 . 0
W0 ° 0 .0
This Stargate is a joint project with my good friend Master of
the Dragons. He manages the complementary
Stargate in Austria. Both Stargates are tied to each
other.
Please stay on the marked trails, the cache is only couple of feet
off trail. Also if you got the coordinates right, your feet
shouldn't get wet at all. A remotely Stargate themed FTF price is
included!
