Back in the 1700's there was a great war between Pirates and the European power countries in the Caribbean. One of the greatest pirates was Captain Edward Teach aka 'Blackbeard', he had stolen 5 chests of gold coins from one of the King for France's ships.

Captain Edward Teach  

The King of France made it Captain Pierre Laviolette's mission to retrieve the chests of gold and stop Blackbeard. After many years of fighting and many men lost Captain Laviolette retrieved all 5 chests back, but Blackbeard escaped. As a reward the King of France gave Captain Laviolette one chest of gold to keep for himself.

Captain Pierre Laviolette

Captain Laviolette hid the treasure to keep it safe but also knew he must also have someone watch over it so in case he dies it was not lost forever. Captain Laviolette chose one of his closest and most trusted friends to be what is known as "The Keeper". Once Captain Laviolette died the current Keeper then found a new Keeper is case he died. The title of "The Keeper" has been passed down for centeries and the treasure has been kept safe. It's been told that modern priates are aware that this treasure still exists and continue to find "The Keeper".

The Keeper before me has passed on and it's now time for you to be "The Keeper". Go my friend, check on the treasure and make sure it is safe.

Go to the posted coordinates, there search for box that will contain the keys that you will need to get into the treasure. Then continue on to the Map Location (Waypoint), these coordinates will also be posted in the key container.

Once you get to the final location you must use the key to open the treasure. This lock is one of a kind and built by a French Locksmith so you will need to figure out the sequence needed to open it.

Note: The gate at the turn off is Closed between May 15th and July 15th so it will add a 1.5km walk to the posted parking coordinates.
