Geocache Description:


HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABIGAIL!!

It's that time of year again! Abigail is nine and this time purple powder monkeys have pillaged her presents.

What is a powder monkey? A powder monkey was the term given to any member of the ship's company who passed filled cartridges and shot during action from the magazines below decks. Powder monkeys were often the youngest members of the crew, some of them were only ten or twelve years old.

We love Borderland and based on the caches and walking trails here, many others seem to enjoy the park as well. We thought we would bring cachers out to a different side of Borderland and down a trail we'd never been down.

Bring purple, pirate, or monkey related trade items and enjoy the walk. You should remain on hiking trails until very near the end - no bushwacking through the park.

Note that this trail looks to be one that will be quite wet after a rainfall, so plan accordingly.

Parking Fee of $2 for the day is required to park in the lot.
