Geocache Description:

Part of the classic sci-fi cache series on Pine Mountain for the annual Geo-Star Party. When you are not star gazing or caching, watch a movie in the tent at the observatory.

Moderate hike and easy hide in a stand of lichen-covered mountain mahogany. Be sure the water-proof container seals properly. Enjoy the views on Pine Mountain's southeast ridge. There are other caches further along the rocky, undulating ridge.

The Fly is a 1958 sci-fi horror film about an experiment gone terribly wrong. It stars David Hedison, Patricia Owens, Vincent Price and Herbert Marshall. The Hugo Award nominee film spawned two sequels, plus a 1986 remake and another sequel to the remake.

The screenplay was based on a short story by the same name published in Playboy. It featured a matter transporter device called the disintegrator-integrator. Teleportation is a common theme in fiction, from Star Trek to Harry Potter, but The Fly was one of the first movies centered around the concept. If you choose to continue on this ridge to do the other caches, you may wish you had a transporter to return!
