Geocache Description:

this cache was placed to represent the Hatch. In this cache there is a clue on how to find Jacob. Find it and write it down.

This is the first DHARMA Initiative station discovered by the characters, known as "Station 3, The Swan" in its orientation film, but is referred to informally by the characters as "the hatch." According to the orientation film, Station 3 was originally constructed "as a laboratory where DHARMA researchers could work to understand the unique electromagnetic fluctuations emanating from that sector of the island." Station 3 is almost entirely underground, except for a "hatch" entrance shaft and a concealed door. The word "quarantine" is spray-painted on the inside of the hatch, and the numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) are inscribed into its metallic exterior edge. It is illuminated by powerful lamps shining through windows as a substitute for sunlight, with a main work area resembling a geodesic dome. A strong but localized magnetic field emanates from behind a wall composed of rough concrete. The station also has several internal blast doors, as discovered by Michael. These blast doors close unexpectedly in "Lockdown" with Locke trapped underneath, at which time he sees a map written on the inside of the door in fluorescent ink. The Hatch is stocked with food, a record player with a collection of old LPs, a small library, an armory complete with Kalashnikov (AK-47) rifles and other firearms, a late-model washer and dryer, a shower, and bunk beds.
