Geocache Description:

An ammo container and not too hard to find (if you solve the puzzle) although you will need to do a little bushwhacking. (Trail? We don't need no stinkin' trail! ... but there is one ... if you can find it...)


To many, the Sci-Fi series Babylon Five is one of the very best of the best. Unlike the venerable StarTrek (which we loved but still recognize had faults) or ST Next Generation (another favorite) or ST Deep Space Nine (which approached B5 in story complexity), Babylon Five was conceived and structured with story arcs which extended not merely across episodes but across years … in one sense, across a million years.

Granted each series has its supporters and favorite fans and this is not to proclaim one superior to all others – we loved them all and others as well – but Babylon Five is the canon of choice for this puzzle cache. 

To begin, the coordinates given fall somewhere in terra incognita … but these are a reference only and, to find the Babylon Five cache, you must first answer these ten questions. (Okay, maybe you could get by with fewer than ten … but, hey, why spoil your fun?)
