Caribbean to Carolina #12 - Pirate Robert Deal Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nat Sherman: Thanks to the 200+ who found this cache over the past decade...appreciate it and hope you had fun! Going to archive it now as it keeps getting logged as "missing" but is just difficult to find, thus the 3/1.5 rating. There are so many new cachers who seem to think all caches should be as easy as an LPC and I'm getting tired of checking on it only to find it there :) Happy caching!

Geocache Description:


Having lived on the Coast of Carolina for 20 years, I suddenly found myself landlocked in Tennessee for the better part of two years recently. While there I placed some 40 caches, all named after Jimmy Buffett songs to remind me of the sea until I could return.

Now that I'm here in Beaufort, I've decided to place some caches to celebrate that I'm finally back to the sea, though for how long is anyone's guess as pirates are ruthless these days.

Each cache in this series will be named after a famous North Carolina pirate. Pirate Captain Robert Deal was at one time mate to Captain Charles Vane. He was later placed in command of a small sloop and took many prizes off the coasts of Carolina and New England. He was captured in the West Indies and hanged in Jamaica in 1718.

Some rules of the high seas as you seek this treasure:

- Remember, this is a VERY HIGH MUGGLE area. Stealth is definitely required.

- Bring your own pen. While some of the caches might be large enough for some pirate swag, most will be much smaller.

- Please replace exactly as you find it or as it was "meant to be placed," and hopefully both of these will ring true when you locate this cache.

Congratulations to EcoCharge on another FTF!!
