Crashed Death Star Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TeamBMZ (bmzdaddy): After many months of repair and waiting on parts to arrive the Death Star is finally back up and running. It got out of Dodge with the last flood onto a voyage to another galaxy to conquer. Apparently they were scared by the geocachers here on earth. Thanks to all whom braved the Troopers to find this one.

Geocache Description:

Cache hidden along Creve Couer Lake.  This park offers miles of walking and biking trails that mostly paved.  Plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities on most days.  This park will either be empty or completely full.


I was at Six Flags last night when I heard a disturbance in the force.  Looking up I saw a streak of light coming down through the sky.  I knew it wouldn't be long.  Soon I felt the slightest vibration in the ground indicating impact.  It was after dark and the parks were closed so I knew it would be morning before I could search for the object that fell from the sky.  Early this morning I arose and went out searching.  Using top notch, scientific method I narrowed the crash field down to a few squared yards. Upon arriving at the area I soon discovered the object.  Just as I started to reach for it I felt a force grip my throat.  There was no one touching me but clearly something had my throat and my attention.  Then I hear him.  Out from behind a tree was the dark one himself...Darth Vader.  He, in his low growling voice, said that the Death Star had ran out of fuel and it was my job now to get it refueled.  I soon learned that it was powered by different people signing a log book.  Weird, I know!  Help out the Dark Lord and come sign this log book.  He needs to get back up and running, and I need the grip on my throat loosened a bit.

 

About this cache....

This is another TeamBMZ original.  Once the container is gone there is no replacement.  Please use stealth to search and retrieve the cache.  To open the cache you will need either a really strong grip or a small pair of pliers.  Door is on the bottom of the cache.  LINE UP THE ORANGE PAINT LINES BEFORE TRYING TO OPEN.  You will have to pull out the log container by feel.  It will open but it can be tough at times.  Please replace the cache EXACTLY as you found it; bottom down.  This helps keep it from filling up with water.

 

Happy hunting and may the force be with you.  Hurry now...the Death Star needs those logs to get going again!


FTF honors go to Karen-Lonnie!!!
