I know some of you heard about the Stargate program around the campfire at the Piney hotdog roast. Well I wanted to tell you a bit more about it. The name comes from a popular Sci-Fi tv show that ran for over 10 years with several spin-offs (Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis) and even a movie or two. A Stargate is a portal to a different galaxy in the movie by almost instantaneous travel once you step through it. Imagine being able to step through a "door" and in a few seconds, you are standing on a planet in the Milky Way Galaxy.
That is basically how the Stargate program works on earth in the geocaching community. There are only so many Stargates on earth that a traveler may use (trackable item). Their purpose is to transport a traveler as quickly as possible to their destination (another Stargate).
Anyway, here is the link to the OENavigators top secret Stargate Command bunker. GC #GC17R38

It's a neatly themed idea for those that want a travelbug/coin to move a long distance at any given time.
Enjoy.
