Treasure Island is cut off from the real world and only possible to visit at certain times of the day. As the cache is called "Treasure Island", the idea is to have better than average swops in it. We have loaded it with some great goodies! Please replace with something good.
Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson and the inspiration for this cache, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold". First published as a book in 1883, it was originally serialised in the children's magazine Young Folks between 1881-82 under the title The Sea Cook, or Treasure Island.
Traditionally considered a coming of age story, it is an adventure tale known for its superb atmosphere, character and action, and also a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality—as seen in Long John Silver—unusual for children's literature then and now. It is one of the most frequently dramatised of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perception of pirates is vast, including treasure maps with an 'X', schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen with parrots on their shoulders.
We discovered this island a while back and found out quickly that there are no scheduled ferries, nobody lives there and at certain times of the day, it is completely cut off from civilisation. No cars are allowed on the island and most people just navigate round and don't stop. We found real peace and tranquillity there. There are a few trees for shade and some flora and rocks. The cache is on the South East corner of the island.
