Geocache Description:


Secret of the Hidden Dunes

King Stegan, the ruler of the Port Mann Empire, perished long ago. His kingdom now lay in a pile of ruins below the dunes and grasses along the mighty Fraser River. His family, the O’Grafees had for generations plundered the Riders of the Western shores, Coquitlam Barbarians, Tribes of Burnaby, the Nomads of Mission, Knights of the Valley and the Warriors of Chilliwack, looting their treasures to fill his coffers.

Growing weary of the raids, the other tribes united, thus proving too powerful a force for the King and his army of treasure takers. The King gathered up his riches, and sent them off with his most trusted confidant, the High Priestess J. Peggy Stash, so the treasure could be concealed away from its rightful owners. The Priestess was skilled at concealing, the King knew this from childhood games of hide and seek, and would put the treasure where only he and his heirs could find it.

The Priestess did as she was told, and sent a message back to the King, who unfortunately had already passed on to the other realm, thus he was unable to re-unite with his stolen riches.

The message was found entombed in the sand of the now gone empire and to this day the treasure remains hidden. Only ancestors of the King know the secret ways of the ancient empire and can claim their riches, perhaps you are one of them, or perhaps you wish to reclaim treasures taken from times past?

Here all will be revealed
