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 Source is actually the universe's highest concentration of dark matter, which was contained in the island by its strange electromagnetic properties. This is The Heart of the Island.
Somehow, when the MiB fell into the Source, his physical atoms were torn apart from their positions. He was obliterated at a quantum level, but he learned within those few seconds, how to use his consciousness (electromagnetism) to control the dark matter levels now entangled to him. With this, he became the Black Smoke Monster. A huge cloud of separated atoms with a center of dark matter keeping all the molecules constantly dividing, and the MiB's consciousness controlling it.
Whatever Jacob learned of the Source from Mother, was merely myth and speculative on the part of the Island's past inhabitance. The "religious" explanations were given to sustain the myth/science theme of the LOST series.
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.
The ring of this series would be best completed with an ATV/off-road vehicle. While a high clearance vehicle would be sufficient for much of it, an off-road vehicle would be much more desirable. Hiking is always an option.
