Hoist the Colours: A dangerous song to be singin,' for
any who are ignorant of its meanin.'
The king and his men stole the queen from her bed
And bound her in her bones.
The seas be ours and by the powers
Where we will we'll roam!
Yo, ho, all hands.
Hoist the colors high.
Heave, ho, thieves and beggars,
Never shall we die!
MOGA MMXI
(2011)
Welcome to Rend
Lake
Each MOGA has been bigger and better than
the last, and this year will be no exception. The MOGA staff have
hidden over 130 permanent caches on the property owned by the USACE
at Rend Lake, each with a PIRATE theme. This cache will fall into 1
of the 3 different groups of caches hidden around the
lake.
- Pirate Captains - 50 caches named
after Pirate Captains that were historical and fictional. They will
range from a terrain of 1.5 to 3.5.
- Pirate Phrases and Places - 50
caches named after phrases pirates say and pirate places and
hideouts. They will range from a terrain of 1.5 to
3.5.
- Parts of a Pirate Ship and Weapons
- 30+ caches named after parts of a pirate ship and some of the
weapons pirates used. They will range from a terrain of 1 to
2.
Rend Lake is accessible year round. Some areas
of the recreation area can be gated so you would have to park and
walk in. Check the following websites for more

where to hide them.
