Geocache Description:

A standard-issue drybox hidden off-trail in a park in Athens, GA... with a load of sci-fi goodies!


The Athens Star Cache is a nice little treasure trove for the geocaching Star Trek/Star Wars/Sci-Fi fans. Most of the cache contents were donated by Sakrysta J'Than of www.terranbbs.com, a good friend of my wife, Laitka Corrine. (Yes, these are pseudonyms with a lot of history--don't ask!)

Although this cache was originally loaded with Star Trek and Star Wars, we're not limiting it to just these particular franchises. Anything sci-fi will do!

Important note: This is located on the property of a park; the parking lot is at 33 55.538 N 083 23.010 W. Please avoid taking nearby residential area shortcuts to reduce nuisance possibilities. (If you continue down one of the nearby residential streets, it will end with a small gate and a fenced-in dog walk area. Navigating from that point will avoid trespassing in any private homes, but still results in the questionable use of a residential street for parking and back-gate access.)

Environmental thought: Bring your two trusted geocaching friends, Long Sleeves and DEET... the mosquitos are incredibly vicious during warm weather.
