Geocache Description:

This TREASURE be filled with booty!    Aayyy, NOTE THE QUESTIONS, FINAL COORDINATES, HIDE, CONTAINER AND HINT HAVE CHANGED AS OF JUNE 2020 ...Aarrgghh....dang muggles. This be one for the GEO-lads and lassies mostly, who also might like the playground and the WF&P train rides in this park.


***********************************************************************************

Ahoy! If ye be young or young at heart , ye may avast of me cache! The above coordinates take ye to a parking lot, but it's easy to find me treasure, if first ye younguns solve for the missing cache coordinate digits using the clues below ... N 38* 32.ABC, W 090* 37.XYZ .

Make ye way to the playground 'Welcome' sign.
A = the number of letters in the first word on the sign.
B = the first real number on the sign.
C = the number of city names on the sign.
X = the number of pictures on the sign PLUS 1.
Y = the Number of printed lines on the sign between EVOS and the pictures.
Z = the number of letters in the first word of this cache title.

(If ye be an OLD SALTY DOG with no younguns along, and don't want to be walkin' to the playground sign, then ye and ONLY YE may check out me gallery picture instead.)

Shiver Me Timbers
....ye solved for the coordinates of me long-lost treasure. I camouflaged and hid me chest among ye landlubbers timbers, so the scallywags wouldn't be findin' it. As a reward, after ye find it, ye may partake of one free gold doubloon without exchange ..... BUT if ye take another booty, ye must leave booty behind for future lads and lassies....and don't ye be hornswaggling me...or I'll make ye walk the plank...Aarrgghh! In keepin' with the pirates' fancy, swag used to be things that ye would find on a ship or in a pirate's loot like that originally placed (toy jeweled rings, pirate figurines, toy brass telescope, glass stones & geomarbles)....but these have long been taken so any swag is fine now. Me matey, "Long Frog Signal, the travelling pirate w/ Cap'n Kidd, the squirt toy" came along for the hide, but also started their own adventures in 2012. 

Remember to batten down the hatches and keep me treasure and hiding place shipshape.....cause you never know when a storms a brewin' or when a scurvy dog might pillage me cache.

**Aarrggh, me matey, Didg Guy is FTF! Hope ye got the 'certificate,' & thanks for ye Favorite.**
