Geocache Description:


Treasure Island

Avast ye me hearties, if ye be lookin' for booty 'tis many a tale been told and rumour abound that this ole seadog Blackbeard did hide it indeed on  Treasure Island. Ah! but where be this fabled place of old sea shanties and stories told? Listen up closely and I tell it to ye, it be real but far far away in a land of maidens so fair and adventurers so bold. So ye be checking yo' compass and setting yo' sails and take the passage to the windy waters o' the port'o'Wellington. 'Tis a grand wee adventure and journey not arduous much suited to the little buccaneers in yo' crew.

Ye be mooring yo' man-o-war at S41 18.275   E174 48.047 and climbing the wee hill before you to WP1. Aye, and be watching yo' crossing of the black sea lane, be a crazy place with danger abound for the youngsters in ye charge. Be resting yo' creaky bones at WP1 and take in the view, a fine view indeed of the ole Patent Slip and Park'o'Cog what's had a nice gussy up to be sure. Now be checking the dates and markin' ye map.

19A8,   A = ?
19B5,   B = ?
200C,   C = ?

And now be setting ye compass to WP2 and follow the track more up the hill till ye reach the edge of the jungle. There be a rock upon which a message is seen.

D = number of times the word "pirates" is written
E = number of times the word "Blackbeard" is written
F = number of times the word "Treasure" (or "treasure") is written.

Me treasure be at S 41deg 18.ABC   E 174deg 48.DEF

And ye be keeping a weather eye out for scurvy landlubbers for sure, aaarrrggh!


Note: Please take care to replace the hide as found to ensure its security.
