This Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!!
This Geoart is dedicated to one of my favorite TV series, Star Trek. You see, I am a Trekkie …. Or a Trekker ….. I don’t really care which one you call me because it all means the same thing. I love all versions of the Star Trek franchise from the Original Series all the way to the JJ Abrams new incarnations. I even like “Discovery”! Each is unique in its own way and most take a non-threatening approach towards some issue facing us in the real world. Star Trek has always done that, it was a primary goal for the creator – Gene Roddenberry.
Each Cache in this series is named for a primary crew member, or for a recurring role which was so instrumental that it perhaps should have been considered a primary role.
Now for your “Away Mission”. Mission objectives will be given by your First Officer, Commander Loki.
“Welcome to Earth, the 3rd planet in the Sol Star System. This Class M planet is not yet Warp capable, so the Prime Directive applies – No interference with indigenous lifeforms, and leave no trace that you have visited. In order to avoid interference from the Borg, your beam down coordinates have been coded. You will find that the actual coordinates will require some very basic mathematics skills. It seems the Borg cannot think on their own, they require the “hive mind” to make decisions. You won’t have those problems. Before you beam down, you or one of your team needs to calculate your actual destination since the given coordinates will place you in the middle of nowhere.”
Isn’t Mary Wiseman just cute as can be!!!! Well so is her character, Cadet Sylvia Tilly. Initially full of self-doubt, she is one of the characters that perhaps grows the most in the two completed seasons of Star Trek discovery. She is also the first to drop the “F” bomb in all of Star Trek history. It was quite literally the “shot heard round the world” to the Star Trek fandom.
The Cache Containers …. They are all PVC pipe type containers about 6 or 7 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter. There is room for some small items. Most importantly, please take the time to completely close the containers. That will go a long way towards keeping everything in working order.
A note about the condition of the road(s) out here… For the most part, they are accessible by a high clearance vehicle but there are a couple of areas that could cause a bit of concern. Arizona pinstriping is free! This could also be done entirely on a mountain bike, if you are into that sort of thing.
This Geoart series is nearly entirely located on Arizona State Trust Land. A valid ASTL Recreation Permit is required for access. According to ASTL rules, vehicles must stay on existing roads. A permit can be obtained online at this link: https://land.az.gov/natural-resources/recreational-permits
