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. 🤘

Jacob is The Others' highest authority and has resided on the island for nearly 2,000 years, most recently in a chamber in the foot of the statue of Tawaret, which is the statue's only remaining component. The backstory of Jacob is revealed in the episode "Across the Sea", which, according to the episode's script, took place in A.D. 44; it also revealed the mysterious Man in Black (a.k.a. the "smoke monster") is his fraternal twin and assumed his current supernatural form after an altercation with Jacob. Jacob is the protector of the Island and is able to visit various Flight 815 survivors prior to their arrival, speaking to and conspicuously touching several of the main characters. It seems he granted Richard Alpert's agelessness by touching him on the shoulder (episode "Ab Aeterno"). Ben initially claims to John Locke that he can communicate with Jacob but later reveals he is lying out of embarrassment for his inability to do so, despite being leader of The Others. The figure in the mysterious cabin, who reacted violently to John Locke's flashlight and later is heard by Locke to say "Help me", is at one point presumed to be Jacob; however, it is later implied it may have been his brother, trapped on the island in his "smoke monster" form by Jacob's presence and, as such, has been scheming to ensure Jacob's downfall. The Man in Black is able to assume the appearance of deceased bodies on the island and, through an elaborate series of events involving him arranging the death of, and subsequently impersonating, John Locke, eventually manipulates Ben into killing Jacob; this represents a "loophole" from the apparent "rule" the two brothers could not harm one another. However, Jacob returns as a ghost on the island and communicates with Hurley. Also, the Man in Black and Sawyer have seen an apparition of a younger Jacob on the present-day island. Eventually, the ghost of Jacob ceded control of the island to his successor.

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)
