SQ-Star Trek Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

cheech gang: I am sorry to report stage #4 is gone again. The elves have failed in their duty and have been summarily dismissed. I'm sure the hamsters would have done a better job.

Thanks to all those who enjoyed this cache over the last 3 years, it was a good run while it lasted.

I am in the process of placing another cache in this cemetery using the original stone post haste.
