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 77 - The Savage Curtain

In this episode, the Enterprise arrives at the volcanic planet of Excalbia to conduct a geological survey. Sensors curiously pick up the presence of carbon-based life on the surface which Spock deems impossible owing to Excalbia's extreme volcanism. Suddenly, the image of a seated Abraham Lincoln appears drifting toward the ship on the viewscreen. While Spock is skeptical that the figure cannot possibly be the real president, Kirk extends full presidential honors to the former leader of the United States as he transports aboard the ship. The president appears to be human, claiming to be "all too human". Lincoln has no knowledge of technology past the 19th century, but is somehow familiar with the Vulcan philosophy of Nom (meaning "all").
