The pirate speaks, "Avast, Ye Mates!! T' first o' a series o' small caches drawin' you t' some o' t' San Gabriel river's finest off t' beaten path treaayes."
The pirate speaks, "It's not "Pirates t' Texas Hill Country" but t' cache be hidden in treaaye chests and thar be glitters and sparkles aplenty. T' caches be smallish so expect only tiny contents (like diamonds, rubies, and gold pieces o' eight!). If you leave any o' those the crew of the Black Cat will be out t' "check" on t' cache within 30 minutes o' postin'!"
The pirate speaks, "T' real treaaye though be t' San Gabriel River. T' river and it's many springs led t' native Americans t' name this area "Land o' Good Waters". Many o' us be familiar with easily accessed parts o' t' river and t' towerin' cliffs. This cache takes you t' an enchanted spot that not many people know about. "
The pirate speaks,” When we hid this cache, we assigned t' navigation duties t' our scurvy first mate. He pulled out his fancy electronic sextant and said ‘Blimey! I can’t see any o' t' northern sky!’ We suggested he move his eye patch t' t' other eye, but then he said, “Aargh! I can’t see t' southern sky. "
The pirate speaks, "For geocacher's that really enjoy chasin' t' splice t' mainbraceen arrow, this be t' place for you! If ye can’t find it, don’t hang t’ jib, draw an extry grog ration. T' best advice I can give be t' follow t' well worn path till you get close and then rely on t' force t' guide you t' t' hidin' place. Cap’n says spot of “X” likely be 20 or 30 paces from whar ye figured. This may not be a cache for sprogs."
