Geocache Description:

The cache is an ammo box containing glow sticks, mardi gras beads, tracts and other trinkets.

There is a pencil and pencil sharpener with the log.

The ammo box is well camaflaged due to the number of muggles that frequent the site.

There is a trash can located outside the main courtyard, CITO. Lots of muggles tend to leave a trail behind them.

Stewart Mansion
On the Heritage at Risk List for 2007 Stewart Mansion, on the list since 2004, was built in 1926 as a West End retreat for George Sealy, Jr. and his family. Eventually owned by the Stewart family, this Spanish Colonial Revival style house overlooks Lake Como. The mansion has been once enlarged and suffers now from deterioration, but many original features such as the tiled courtyard are still intact. The current owners have plans for restoration but at this time it remains vacant.

Laffite's Cove was named after its predecessor, the pirate Jean Laffite, who ousted Galveston's original residents, the friendly Karankawa Indians, in a famous battle on the ridge overlooking Oak Bayou (the Stewart Mansion property). It is believed by treasure hunters that Jean Laffite buried his vast treasure on grounds west of the Mansion, although no treasure has ever been found.

His larger than life mural can be seen along with two other pirates, on the wall of the living room in the Stewart Mansion. It has been said that at night these murals often change places on the walls.
