Geocache Description:





Ninth in a series of "Quacked-Up!" Rubber Ducky Holidays!



Well, another month has gone by and it is time for the September Holiday Cache. Following the duck's request to not do the "usual" human holidays, we found a great dress-up holiday on September 19th. It's "Talk Like A Pirate Day"!
So ... I for one am glad that falls on a Saturday this year, I am not sure it would go over well at work to be saying "Ahoy Maties!" to the customers. 

Cache is a black plastic ammo can type box filled with Rubber Duckies that are dressed as pirates. There are pink girl pirates as well as boy pirates.  Also in the cache are some pirate bracelets, gold treasure coins and tattoos. The container is in a park with no hours posted but use your good judgement on this.


Feel free to grab a duck to take home to celebrate this special time with you and your family. If you don't wish to adopt a duck, please make sure to make a note of the symbol written on the bottom of the ducks or in the log.

You will need to know the symbol associated with each "Quacked-Up!" Holiday cache in order to find the bonus cache in the series. 
You do not need a trade item to take a duck but:

Please just one duck per person or caching family.


              
 Animated duckling




Feel free to trade ... stay with the theme if you can, but any trade is just fine.

Travel bugs and coins always welcome! Bring the family, kids will especially like the holiday caches (and the ducks).


I am not positive, my translation of Pirate Speak is a bit rusty but I am pretty sure Chilehead was FTF! Congrats!!
