FESTIVAL! FESTIVAL!
Are you of the BODY, friend?
You'd better be, or at least act like it.
This cache pays tribute to Star Trek, the original series, episode 21 "The Return of the Archons." It is my plan to establish a cache honoring all 79 of the original series episodes (called it!). I am not doing them in any particular order, rather, I am doing episodes that are memorable or special to me.
You'll have to watch the episode to gather trivia answers to decode the final coordinates. (If this is impossible you may find the answers at startrek.com)
The above coordinates are not the location of the cache. Rather, they are for one of the trailheads in the area, parking is on the side of the road.
Final is located at:
N 42 38.AAB
W 71 01.CDE
