Geocache Description:


Cache seekers assume all risks involved in seeking this cache, so be sure to check road/trail conditions and be properly prepared. The cache and route may be under snow during winter and a Northwest Forest Pass might be required.

Star Trek first aired over 50 years ago. Created by Gene Roddenberry in 1964, the franchise has spawned numerous television series, films, comics, novels, games, and fan fiction...and now there's a Trek-themed GeoArt series in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.


With advanced technology comes the opportunity for advanced weaponry. Star Trek has depicted a wide array of weapons used by various species. There have been low-tech melee weapons like the Vulcan lirpa, high-tech handheld weapons like phasers, vessel ordnance like photon torpedos, and even bioweapons that could destroy the ecosystem of an entire planet.
