Geocache Description:

(STTT) STAR TREK "TECH" TRAIL series

You are searching for a small camo'd container.

Gizzmo1 & I have walked this trail a few times and we thought it would be a good "warm-up" start OR "cool-down" finish to the adjacent Enterprise Power Trail created by ruylopez.

01 - The Tricorder

A tricorder is a multifunction hand-held device used for sensor scanning, data analysis, and recording data. Three primary variants of the tricorder are issued in Star Trek's Starfleet. The standard tricorder is a general-purpose device used primarily to scout unfamiliar areas, make detailed examination of living things, and record and review technical data. The medical tricorder is used by doctors to help diagnose diseases and collect bodily information about a patient; the key difference between this and a standard tricorder is a detachable hand-held high-resolution scanner stored in a compartment of the tricorder when not in use. The engineering tricorder is fine-tuned for starship engineering purposes. There are also many other lesser-used varieties of special-use tricorders. The word "tricorder" is a combination of "tri-" and "recorder", referring to the device's three default scanning functions: GEO (geological), MET (meteorological), and BIO (biological).

STTT-01 is the only cache "off-the-trail", but it felt right to have 10 caches rather than 9, so we placed the first one here. This trail is also an excellent candidate for a snowshoe trek.

WARNING: This cache series is off an ATV trail. It is NOT recommended to drive your vehicle down this trail, as you may get stuck. Also, there is very little room to turn your vehicle around if you decide to turn back!!
