Geocache Description:


Vasquez Rocks Park has had a preponderence of Star Trek-themed caches over the years. This should come as no surprise, as the geology lends itself well to fantasy films, and many famous scenes from the TV series were filmed here.

Well, not being a huge Star Trek fan, but still liking the adventure/science-fiction theme that this park conjures up, I decided to dedicate a few caches here as part of my "Dark Tower" cache series. If you're one of many people for whom that name doesn't ring a bell, the Dark Tower series is a Stephen King epic comprising 4500 or so pages that is part sci-fi, part fantasy, and part spaghetti western. These seven novels chronicle the journey of a group of gunslingers in a futuristic Wild West after most of humanity has died off, and feature an assortment of characters brought in from all corners of the literary spectrum.

This cache series is an unofficial and unnumbered assortment of caches dedicated to the cast of characters in these books. Hopefully these caches will allow you to imagine, ever so slightly, the desolation of a world that--in Stephen King's words--has "moved on."

You're looking for a decon container. Its location should hopefully be obvious once you get there. Originally I wanted to toss it up into a nearly inaccessible hole in the rocks and give it a 5-star terrain rating, but I got talked out of it. You're welcome.

Good luck, and happy caching!
