Geocache Description:





This is a really short 2-Stage Multi Cache.

Durin' th' summer 'o 1713, five notorious scurvy pirate capt'n met along th' Elbow River to make an agreement never to attack each other. As a gesture 'o jolly faith, each took wit' them a bag 'o personal treasure to be hidden along th' Elbow River. If any 'o the' five were to be killed, their treasure was to be divided between those who remained.

Each scurvy pirate hid his treasure 'n drew a map, showin' th' location. Thar were just five maps, 'o which each cap'n had one copy 'o each. Within a pair years 'o th' meeting, all five cap'n were in Davy Jones' treasure chest! Either killed in action or taken by th' authorities 'n executed.

Thar were many rumours 'bout th' meeting along th' Elbow River, but no one knew th' whereabouts 'o th' treasure or who held any 'o th' maps. Th' story was consigned to myth 'n legend.

Rumors started to make rounds later in 2012 that another treasure had surfaced, but tis scurvy pirate was a visionary. He knew that one day a new compass would be invented 'n he deciphered th' location 'o 'tis treasure into 'tis new format 'n memorized it. Nobody could make sense out 'o th' numbers he told all th' ones that captured 'n tortured him. He took his secret location to th' grave. Buckos burried him high above th' Bow River wit' a great view over the valley, havin' lost their sense 'o direction, believn' they were still on th' Elbow River. 'Tis location was recently discovered 'n th' coordinates gunna lead y to 'tis location. If ye look him deep in th' eyes, ye might be able to catch a glimpse 'o th' location 'o his treasure, assumin' ye be knowin' what to do wit these strange numbers. Jolly luck on ye hunt.
