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. You'll need to do some
climbing to reach the cache, but you needn't get dangerously close
to the edge once you're there.
Good luck, and happy caching!
