Geocache Description:


This is a tribute to the archived cache,
GCJ3EZ, Treasure Island



Container is a very large ammo can
Cache is not at the listed coordinates!

Find the cache
GC1MZ1G, Pirate Tool chest


In this cache there is a piece of rope. (bring about 35 foot of 1/4" rope as a back up incase the rope is missing)
Look for an eye on the tree where the cache is hidden.
Put the end of the rope with the nail through the eye and stretch it to a another tree of the same species that has the same type of eye at a compass bearing of 80 degrees
Secure the rope to the eye with a taut-line-hitch so that it is fairly tight.
Somewhere on the rope is a knot, look below the knot for a strip of metal that has coordinates stamped onto it. If the rope is missing, use your back up rope and look somewhere along the rope in the middle third, directly below the rope.

Please be sure to replace the rope in the cache and the metal strip back where you found it. The rope goes into a bag with a note that says not to take it.
Very high cliffs in the area, enjoy the view, don't bring skittish kids or dogs.

FTF token in cache with a special prize to follow.
