Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not the final cache coordinates but point to available parking nearby. Cache is located in an undeveloped Ottawa County Park close to I-96.

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!

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!
