Geocache Description:


Taking a stroll along the riverwalk, we came across an old bottle. The bottle was etched with some numbers.They seem to be some sort of coordinates. I've posted them above, thinking they may be critical to getting your journey underway. There was also a message inside! It seems to be an old pirate's captain's log. We were unable to locate the treasure it appears to lead to. Hopefully you have better luck!

I'm attaching photos of the logs. Can you decipher the pirate speak?

*Note: This cache does not make a loop. You will walk through only public areas, all outdoors. The final location may be prone to muggles when the weather is nice. Inside is a stamp that must stay with the letterbox. Do not remove! There is room for trade items and we've started it out with some pirate-y swag.

**Special thanks to TKDChris for the container and swag and to stillsleeping for tolerating our madness while we hid the cache!

***CONGRATS TO TACHO-ITIS, or whatever his name is...... on the FTF!! (and the incredibly amusing log entry)***
