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. 🤘

The Black Rock was a fully-rigged 19th century British trading ship that was found shipwrecked on the Island and overgrown by the jungle. The ship carried a cargo of slaves, dynamite, and other equipment intended for mining. In the midst of a large storm at sea, a massive wave swept the vessel inland, causing it to crash violently into the statue of Taweret, thus toppling the structure, leaving only the foot of the statue intact. This wave carried the ship far into the interior of the Island where it finally came to rest in an area known as the "Dark Territory". The ship was captained by Magnus Hanso, who was allegedly buried somewhere close to the wreck. In 2007, Hugo Reyes destroyed the ship by detonating the remaining dynamite.

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)

Congratulations to RS Arizona for FTF :)
