Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Island! This is a series of 108 caches dedicated to my favorite TV show, "LOST." This compass in the desert is both a tribute to the show, and a thank you as well. 🤘

Katherine Anne Austen, more commonly known as Kate, is one of the survivors from the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. Before the crash, Kate had spent many years fleeing the law after killing her abusive father. To achieve her goals, she would commit several other crimes and would turn to bank robbery, assault and seduction. On the Island, she became an integral member of the survivors' society, forming strong bonds and eventually romantic relationships with Jack and Sawyer and also becoming close with Claire and Sun. Resourceful, quick-witted and mysteriously reclusive, she participated in many missions while attempting to hide her troubled past from the rest of the survivors. Kate was captured by the Others along with Jack and Sawyer, but she eventually escaped the Island with five other survivors. Off the island, Kate consummated her feelings for Jack and they began a romantic relationship. Kate went on trial for her various crimes and, in desperation to resolve her issues with the law, accepted a ten-year probation order. Kate and Jack eventually moved in together and were briefly engaged, but Jack's guilt about leaving the others behind finally caught up with him and manifested in drug and alcohol problems which ultimately ended their relationship. She raised Aaron Littleton as her son, but she finally decided to return to the Island to rescue his mother, Claire. Once she returned to the Island, Kate was stranded in 1977 with some of the other survivors. She worked for the DHARMA Initiative and saved a young Benjamin Linus's life. She then time-traveled to 2007, where she found an "infected" Claire. Kate joined the Man in Black's side, but she did not trust him. She helped Jack to kill the Man in Black and said her final goodbye to Jack. They re-affirmed their love for one another before she escaped the island with Claire. Jack and Kate were reunited in the afterlife and moved on with their friends.

The cardinal legs of this series of caches are mostly driveable...a passenger car can easily do the eastern and northern legs. The rest is viable with a high clearance vehicle, except for the far western and southern legs. Pinstriping is REAL. A 4x4 can easily do all 4 cardinal legs.

The ordinal legs are all hiking caches. There is minimal bushwhacking. And as always, watch for things that sting, bite and scratch.

Cache is located on Arizona Trust Land so you must have your permit in order to access this cache. If you do not have a permit, one can be purchased online here: (visit link)
