This cache will fall into 1 of the 3 different groups of caches hidden around the lake.
- Pirate Captains - 50 caches named after Pirate Captains that were historical and fictional. They will range from a terrain of 1.5 to 3.5.
- Pirate Phrases and Places - 50 caches named after phrases pirates say and pirate places and hideouts. They will range from a terrain of 1.5 to 3.5.
- Parts of a Pirate Ship and Weapons - 30+ caches named after parts of a pirate ship and some of the weapons pirates used. They will range from a terrain of 1 to 2.
