Walk The Planks: Captain's Mess Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Pirate Rat: Regrettably archiving this one. The wooden structure of the bridge disappears a little more each year. What was once a strong railing plank holding the cache is now way easy to shred using my bare hands. Nearby, displaced individuals have been camping in the same spot for well over a year. The cache was intended to help people discover this particular spot - I would feel a bit uneasy continuing to bring folks here. So long and thanks for nearly 150 finds!

Geocache Description:

What started out as a small container is now a micro. There is no longer room for trackables or treasures.
Stay safe while you're out hunting it! Rain may flood the path leading to the cache. Even though this is not a named park, please still treat it as such and do not search for the cache between dusk and dawn.
I wouldn't want you to be keel-hauled - or worse - clapped into irons!


WATCH YOUR STEP, THE STONES ARE ALL LOOSE.
SNOW MAY BE COVERING UP A DEEP STEP DURING THE WINTERTIME
{Secret: There is a hidden visitor parking spot directly behind the ICF building}
Monsoons have taken their toll on the poopdeck and this captain has no intention of cleaning up the mess, although it does look like somebody is still making a token effort.
If you see the Fourth Mate, please send him back to the ship - he never returned from shoreleave. Apparently he also took some of the captain's baubbles with him as he went ashore for his yearly bath.

(Baubbles... bath... it's a pun... Hold the groans, I can't hear you anyhow...)

Argh! King Poseidon has been throwing a tantrum trying to knock this one down for a find! I have consulted with the Dreadpirate Hideki (of the CGS Gauss) and have switched to an attractive container of his design.
