Geocache Description:


This cache is the first in a trilogy of caches. An original trilogy, if you will. As such, it is based on the theatrical release of Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope. If this series of caches does well enough, in about 20 years they may be re-released with trivial modifications that add nothing to the caching experience.

Not all that long from now on a bike path not all that far away...
