Warning! Listed coordinates will only get you close. You will need one of our "Pieces of Eight" for exact coords.
Cache is a short hike from listed coords and is in a medium flat lock and lock container. No bushwacking required.
Entire hike can be done along established trails. Unless you’re adventurous and plan to cross the second waterway using the natural “bridge” near Southside Toy Box (GCMMJT), bear right after the first water crossing and head toward the Buffington bridge at N 36 44.761, W 076 03.300. Bear left after the bridge and follow the white markings.
We originally placed this cache in Waller Mill Park, Williamsburg in September of 2003 for the First annual HamptonRoads Cache Dash. Shortly after the cache dash Hurricane Isabel visited Tidewater and did extensive damage to Waller Mill park. The cache survived the hurricane but that section of the park has still not been reopened to hiking. The cache was left in place but could only be reached by boat. Then a change in park regulations prohibited beaching of boats so the cache had to be archived. I was finally able to retrieve the cache and we moved it to it's new location. It won't be as fun as the old location but it should be a lot easier to get to.
New Pieces of Eight can be found in caches visited by Sea Dog and the Scoundrelettes.
If you have one of the original Pieces of Eight (Coords begin with N37) subtract below coordinates from the original coordinates (on back of coin)to get the new location.
N 00 34.930, W 000 39.174 (Hint: Be careful subtracting, remember 1 degree = 60 Minutes) If you did it right you will be close to posted coords.
