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 65 - Plato's Stepchildren

In this episode, Kirk, Spock and McCoy beam down to a planet (rich in rare "kironide" mineral deposits) to investigate a distress call. Once there, they are greeted by a friendly dwarf named Alexander, who leads the landing party to meet the rest of his people, who have adopted classical Greek culture, and named themselves Platonians in honor of the Greek philosopher Plato. All of the Platonians, except for Alexander, seem to possess telekinetic powers. The Platonians explain they "lured" the Enterprise to their planet because their leader, Parmen, requires medical help.
