USS ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-D

The ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-D is a die-cast replica of the most famous starship in the United federation of Planets Starfleet--the USS Enterprise!

The Enterprise began it's journey in the Trogolodytic Visitation cache (GCF17) in Henderson County, North Carolina USA.

GOAL: Take the ENTERPRISE for a spin at high warp...anywhere but hopefully closer to it's lost captian Picard who is now the Borg Drone LOCUTUS
(the Picard/Locutus TB has been forever lost in subspace due to an encounter with a quantum singularity aka: lawn mower).

Be sure to take photos of your travels along the way and post them along with your logs. Thank you SNOOGANS for taking some out of this world photos!! Look at his logs if you want to know what I mean by taking photos of the Enterprise during its travels...he also took the photo below of the huge Klingon (or is the ship small..hhhmmm?)

For a somewhat accurate approximation of the distance the Enterprise has traveled, add 8,200 miles to the distance the TB has traveled once you grab it. Before it was an official TB it was a "pre-travel-bug" cache traveler and went on a grand journey all over the USA. You can view it's pre-travel bug travels and photos at it's now archived original Geocaching.com page HERE
.

As a Pre-travel bug traveling geocache it traveled thousands of miles and visited many geocaches and interesting places before returning to spacedock (sector 001 for you trekkies) and being refitted as a travel bug and then continuing on its journey.

For more information on the travels of the Enterprise check out the brief ships log and photos of it's journey below!!

CAPTIAN'S LOG:

STARDATE 0720.01--The ENTERPRISE begins it's journey and travels all over the Earth Continent known as North America...and hopefully beyond.

STARDATE 0928.01--The ENTERPRISE encounters the BORG again and Capt. Picard was abducted and asimilated into LOCUTUS
(again?) by the Borg.

STARDATE UNKNOWN--The ENTERPRISE is lost somewhere in the badlands...it is thought to be stuck in a pocket of dark matter.

http://www.geocaching.com/ STARDATE 0131.03--AFTER GATHERING SOME VITAL INTELEGENCE FROM THE RENEGADE ANDORIAN SMUGGLER KNOWN AS "KNIC"...WE HERE AT STARFLEET COMMAND HAVE LOCATED THE ENTERPRISE!! WE WERE SEARCHING IN THE WRONG PLACE...WE THOUGHT IT WAS LOST IN THE BADLANDS BUT NOW WE KNOW IT WAS LOST AND DRIFTING IN AN AREA OF NULL SPACE NEAR GALORNDON CORE.

Stardate 0617.03: Thanks to "KNIC" communication has been restored with the USS ENTERPRISE and it is again AT HIGH WARP!!

Stardate 1017.03: Enterprise heads home to sector 001 for a refit (with a TB ID tag) afterwhich it will resume the search for it's captian.

Stardate 1105.03: USS Enterprise resumes it's search for Captian Picard/Locutus. It left space dock only to be caught in a wormhole which dumped it out into the Tube Torcher Geocache where it waits to begin the second phase of its hunt(see first log below for the continuing voyges of the ENTERPRISE).
