Geocache Description:


Legend has it that somewhere deep below the surface of Lake Michigan, Captain Greybeard and his ship lay in a cold, dark, watery grave. The Captain’s mutinous crew sought Greybeard’s treasure as he was the richest pirate known to man, but being a true pirate the Captain never revealed his treasures to his crew. It has been said that he left behind a map, that, if found could be used to locate the last of his lifelong plunders. Recently, a clue has been found to have washed ashore near a local river as to where you may find this so called “Treasure Map”.

The clue read like this…..

Ahoy there Mate’s, Come to find my lost treasure, have you? You scurvy landlubbers will have to find my treasure map before you can even think of finding my treasure. I have hidden the treasure map at N42º 44.021 W87º48.947. Good luck to any of you gentlemen of fortune that may try to lay a hand on the treasure of Greybeard.

Signed,Captain Greybeard, Pirate

If you should be so lucky as to find the treasure map, please be kind enough to return it for the next person to plunder his treasure. Park at N42º 43.973 W87º 48.837
