Geocache Description:


Starship Enterprise Geo-Art

Welcome to the ‘Starship Enterprise’ Geo-Art. Each puzzle is different ,themed around SPACE and is ‘hopefully’ designed to help you learn a little about different types of puzzles. Some will obviously be a little harder than others but should be doable with a little patience.

Please remember to return and cover the container as you found it to ensure its’ longevity, and when visiting stay safe and abide by the geocacher’s creed. http://www.geocreed.info/

Some of the rural roads may be rough, narrow, have roaming livestock or be flooded during heavy rain events, so please drive to suit the conditions and the limitations of your vehicle and driver.

I had quite a bit of help creating these puzzles from a variety of 'puzzle makers' out there. You will find a note of thanks and a link to one of their puzzles at the bottom of the page.

The cache is NOT at the published co-ordinates.

Starship Enterprise

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) is a starship in the fictional Star Trek universe, depicted in four network television series, six feature films, and countless books and fan-created media. The original Star Trek series (1966–1969) features a voice-over by Enterprise captain, James T. Kirk (William Shatner), which describes the mission of Enterprise as "to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before". The ship's design "formed the basis for one of sci-fi's most iconic images," though the ship has gone over many changes over the course of its television and cinematic appearances.
