The Thames Valley Trail stretches for 110 km from its southern terminus on Southdel Drive at the Elgin Trail north terminus, to its northern terminus in St. Marys at the Avon Trail west terminus. This series of caches follows the off-road trail portions of the Thames Valley Trail (TVT) and are named for various fictional characters of the Star Trek universe.
Captain Christopher Pike was the original captain of the starship Enterprise in the pilot of the original series.
This cache is close to the sign indicating the beginning of the trail. Be very careful not to touch any of the vines on the tree holding the sign, as these are poison ivy. The cache is not on the poison ivy-covered tree, but in the thorny bush just west of it.
