ARRGH! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ninja Emery: Archiving due to overgrowth of thorns, berry bushes with thorns, did I mention thorns? Aptly enough, nobody should cache even a pirate cache and bleed as much as I did recovering the cache, which was right out in the open now. The tree it was in fell over.

Geocache Description:

An easy bushwhack in the right general direction will take you through prickly but scanty underbrush - or not. There are deer trails all over. Don’t go up the hill; it’s not necessary and not safe.

One of the lesser known pirates to hit Maui - really! - was Drystan the Dire. He was aiming for San Francisco, but took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and BANG! Smack into Maui! That’s why he wears a patch over one eye (watch out for those branches!) It is rumored he buried his treasure here near Black Sand Beach. He had to fight off ninjas to do it, too – and so may you, so be careful, because ninjas are vewwy, vewwy quiet. You don’t want to lose a leg like Drystan did, do you?

Do ye dare leave the beach to walk into the woods? (Please, let yer fancy and delicate folk find LavaFlo’s cache and stay safe and clean.) There be dragons and other evil creatures in those woods – go on, look at the ground; see the tracks of the cloven hooves? Walk carefully now…. Do ye see the plank? Do ye dare to walk it?

If the rum bottle is missing, then be sore afraid! The ninjas may have gotten to it first. BEWARE!

We all know pirates are better than ninjas – witness how totally cool Drystan the Dire is – and just look at the great clothes pirates wear! And who but a pirate could make a missing limb look fabulous?

When ye log yer visit – if ye get back alive – add a line saying why you think pirates are better than ninjas - now that ye be an honorary pirate yerself!

Small note on cache maintenance: LavaFlo will be watching the cache, thanks
