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. 🤘

Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 was a scheduled flight from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, California, United States, on a Boeing 777-200ER. On September 22, 2004 at 4:16 P.M., the airliner, carrying 324 passengers, deviated from its original course and disappeared over the Pacific Ocean. This is the central moment in the series Lost and the personal chronological beginning of the main characters' exploits on the Island.

Flight 815's breakup and crash was due to Desmond Hume failing to enter a code into the Swan station computer, causing a large burst of electromagnetic energy. The true cause of the plane's off-course deviation and arrival to the Island's airspace was Jacob, the supernatural entity who protected the Island. Jacob brought the plane because many of the flight's passengers were candidates to replace him as protector of the Island.

Two months after the crash, wreckage was found in the Sunda Trench in the Indian Ocean near Bali. All of the passengers were presumed dead. In reality, however, the discovered wreckage was staged by Charles Widmore. The real plane had suffered a mid-air break-up and crashed on an uncharted Island, with more than sixty-nine passengers and two crew members surviving the crash itself. Later, six of those survivors made it off the Island and became known as the Oceanic Six.

By late 2007, the Island's treacherous conditions and the violent battles between passengers, the Island's inhabitants, and other factions killed nearly every passenger on the plane. As of the finale episode, only Kate Austen, Hugo "Hurley" Reyes, James "Sawyer" Ford, Walt Lloyd, Rose Nadler, Bernard Nadler, Claire Littleton, Aaron Littleton, Emma, Zach, and Vincent were confirmed to still be alive. Cindy Chandler was the only crew member of the flight to survive the series. Some of the survivors were able to escape on Ajira Flight 316 which they had used to return to the Island after leaving. Hurley became protector of the Island and remained behind with Ben Linus. Rose and Bernard also stayed behind to live out the rest of their lives together, in harmony. Cindy, Emma and Zach also remained to live under Hurley's guard.

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)
