If you are a fan of TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, or ENT - this cache is for YOU! The posted coords are the suggested parking and are within one mile of the final. In order to complete this find you will have to first locate and LOG the eight caches of this series and collect the number from inside each cache. BE SURE TO KEEP TRACK OF WHICH SHIP HAS WHAT TWO DIGIT NUMBER.
8/20/12 NOTE: If you are NOT a Trekkie, you may wish to do the puzzle portion of this final at home BEFORE heading out to the field.
The number in the title means NOTHING but for a suggested way to attack the caches. We mention this because you will find the title numbers in the caches don't match. We changed them to give you an idea of the most efficient path to take. If you plan to do the entire series, give yourself several hours.
Here's the ships you will be locating (see bookmarked list):
- USS Enterprise - GC39DFN
- USS Defiant - GC39DFV
- Warbird - GC39HME
- Bird of Prey - GC39HMJ
- Galor Class Destroyer - GC39DFY
- Borg Cube - GC39DFF
- USS Voyager - GC39HMN
- Jem'Hadar Attack Ships - GC39HMQ
You need to solve the puzzle below to determine which number to place where. You may solve the puzzle before you head out to grab the ships and get them all in one day if you would like.
Match the ships above with the clues below.
AB = _____ = _______________ Federation Flagship (Archer, Kirk, Picard)
CD = _____ = _______________ Romulan
EE = _____ = _______________ Cardassian
FG = _____ = _______________ Intrepid Class
HI = _____ = _______________ DS9 "escort ship"
JK = _____ = _______________ Klingon
LL = _____ = _______________ Wolf 359
MN = _____ = _______________ Gamma Quadrant
N AB° CD.EFG
W HI° JK.LMN
You do not have to be a Trekkie to enjoy this caching adventure, you may just need a quick google to solve the puzzle. If you are completely lost, perhaps Memory Alpha would be a good place to start.
THE CACHE: You will be looking for a 50 cal ammo box.
There are two TBs originating in this cache, making up a tag-team FTF prize. They are: Deep Space Nine and Captain James T Kirk. CONGRATULATIONS to PaddleAway, the FTF of all nine caches (and her puzzle solving son, OBXGeek). The TBs will be adopted to them for their joint efforts.
Deep Space Nine
One of the most historically, politically, and strategically important space stations in the Alpha Quadrant, Deep Space 9, originally known as Terok Nor, was an orbital space station constructed by the Cardassians in orbit of Bajor. Under Federation administration following the Cardassian withdrawal, DS9 became a vital commercial port and defensive outpost because of its location near the mouth of the Bajoran wormhole. It later became a key strategic location during the Dominion War, for both the Dominion and the Federation Alliance.
"Think of it. Five years ago no one had ever heard of Bajor or Deep Space 9 and now, all our hopes rest here."
