Geocache Description:


"Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand.

I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me."

Set in the 26th Century in the wake of a universal civil war, Firefly centres on the crew of a small transport spaceship that doesn't have a planet to call home. Thrust together by neccessity, the disparate crew seek to survive and find their way, facing numerous challenges on the blurred edges of civilisation. Taking whatever work they can find to keep in the air, sometimes legal, sometimes not, life is a constant battle to avoid contact with the Alliance (for various reasons) and Reavers (to stay alive) all the while confronting their inner demons, and each other, in the confines of their ship.

This show was sadly canned after just 1 season, but to this day remains one of my personal favourites If you've never seen it, I'd heartily recommend it for the tremendous storylines and character development.

Meanwhile, back here on Earth 500 years earlier, there is the small matter of the cache to be found.

The final location can be found at

S  40 35. A B C
E175 21. X Y Z
 
Where
A = The number of letters in the colour of the coat you'd most likely find Cap'n Mal Reynolds wearing.
B = The number of main characters in the show (IE aboard the ship the majority of the time).
C = The production code of the episode "Heart of Gold" (last digit only).
 
X = The year the series is set in (last digit) MINUS the number of letters in the name of the planet the Reavers originate from.
Y = The number of letters in the name of the spaceship that serves as home for the crew.
Z = The total number of episodes filmed for the 1 and only series (last digit only).
 
As is often the case, Google is your friend. None of the required info should be difficult to find, but please feel free to message me if you are having any problems.
Hopefully, if you are a fan of the show, the final location will bring a smile to your face laugh
 

This is a simple park and grab.

Please be respectful of private property. The Hint should be all you need

Although this is a 'small', there is a little room for SWAG or TB's.

Please re-hide exactly as found, and report any damage.
