Pour me some ale and I will tell you a tale. A tale of pirates
and treasures. It was many years ago, I sailed with the pirate
Yellow beard throughout the seven seas. Over the years, we
plundered many a ship, and hid plenty of treasure. I am not sure if
we ever went back and found it all. Aye, I remember one stop we
made ...
We left the ship in the cove and the captain ordered several
details ashore to find provisions for the ship Yellow beard, myself
and several of the crew went ashore to bury a large box of
treasure. After getting off the ship we passed to the starboard of
a Governor’s Fort and continued on a narrow trail along the shore.
We reached a trail intersection and went to the right at first, but
stopped when we got to a village beset by the plague. Returning
back to the intersection, we went to the left this time and in
short order found ourselves at the edge of a river of gray water.
Although we feared this river, we did manage to find a way across
it and made our way onto the painted flats.
After passing painted flats, we crossed over a footbridge and
continued past the Admiral’s Thwart and reached the Gotta Go
Springs. After leaving there, we passed Resty Bottom Spring and
stopped to rest at a benched longboat. The next morning we took off
again and walked along the base of Spyglass hill.
We eventually reached another trail intersection with a large
rock mountain to our port side. The main trail went to the
starboard, away from the mountain, and a much smaller trail
continued to follow around the base of the mountain a short
distance before turning away into the woodlands. We found a rock
outcropping just to the left of the trail that the captain called
The Devil’s Jaw. It was here, near the top that we hid our
treasure. I don’t believe anyone has been back. I can only believe
it is still there, waiting to be found ...
Don't tell this to no one, matey, or ye be doomed to the curse
of the Yellow Beard! I left me map at spot above to help you find
the treasure. .
