Geocache Description:


THERE IS NOTHING AT THE POSTED COORDINATES SO I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND GOING THERE. All containers have Rite in the Rain log sheets. When stopping please try not to interfere with the flow of traffic.

I remember how much I enjoyed watching the original Star Trek series when I was younger. Over the years I have continued to watch the various Star Trek series and movies and I have many favourite episodes and movies. This series of puzzles relates only to the 79 episodes of the original series not including the pilot episode.

Episode 5 - The Enemy Within N 43° 55.403' W 79° 17.871'

In this episode, the Enterprise is on a geological exploration of the planet Alpha 177. Geological Technician Fisher is injured after a fall and transported aboard the Enterprise, though Scotty has some trouble with the transporter. The transporter equipment appears to be fine, but he notices some magnetic dust from ore samples covering Fisher's uniform that may have interfered with the transport, and the uniform is decontaminated. Later, Kirk transports back to the ship. The transporter apparently works correctly, but Kirk experiences some disorientation, and Scotty escorts Kirk out of the transporter room. They are unaware when the transporter activates a second time, materializing a second version of Kirk which behaves more maliciously than his counterpart.
