Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the LOST in Hickory series and was placed in honor of a show I watched and adored for 6 seasons. Once you sign the log be sure to make note of the final cache coordinate that is revealed. Cache is small so bring your own pen!

On the TV show LOST: The Swan, more commonly known as The Hatch by the survivors of Flight 815, was an underground facility on the Island built by the DHARMA Initiative during the late 1970's.
The station was originally designed to be a laboratory where DHARMA scientists would study and manipulate the "unique electromagnetic fluctuations" emanating from this sector of the Island. However, after the "incident", they enacted a special protocol to prevent a potential global catastrophe. Two individuals manning the station took shifts entering numbers into a computer every 108 minutes.

I chose the location for this cache because I spent many hours in this building punching in numbers on a calculator and running experiments with various amounts of success when I was a student at Lenoir-Rhyne. Container was handmade by my college roommate as a birthday present.

FTF honors go to Team BBW, DJHT, T-Birdie, & Less.Than.Three!
