Pirates Plunder Night Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Wizard of Ooze: Unfortunately, the visibility of these glowing skulls likely led to their demise -- too tempting for someone to resist stealing. This night cache was placed for the benefit of the 2016 Cache Dash Splash event with hopes that it would remain viable afterwards, but sadly it's not the case. It won't be replaced.

Geocache Description:


Who be up fer a nightfall hike to find th' treasure chest? Gather up ye courage 'n a flashlight 'n muster ye troops fer a hike through th' dunes.

Park ye sailin' ships at N46° 19.826 W124° 03.813 and set out with ye lanterns 'n flashlights to th' start of th' trail at N 46° 19.818 W 124° 03.840. Follow th' paved trail until you get to th' spot where your adventure begins! When you reach N46° 19.477 W124° 03.957 ye will see a faint trail through the dune grass where scurvy sailors have gone before ye. Turn yourselves to a north heading and follow th' trail towards th' treasure ye seek! Ye should stay on the trail, no bushwacking for ye scurvy pirates!

Ye should spy wee glowing skulls tied to th' trees on ye left side along ye way about 30-50 paces apart before ye find th' treasure. Don't rely too much on th' flashlight to help ye, however! Th' skulls glow in th' dark, so if ye shine a light on them ye won't be able to spot their glow. Once ye find three glowing skulls together the treasure is at hand!

Once ye find the treasure, head towards th' sound of th' waves until ye return to th' paved path from whence ye came, and follow it back to ye scurvy sailing ships.
