Geocache Description:

We will meet for an hour or so, as long as you want to stay really to discuss any variety of topics including geocaching stories or maybe pirate legends...  Come meet some local cachers if you are new to the area, or old friends if you aren't.  The details are embeded somewhere on this page the only question is, can you find them?


Interesting tidbit about Mary Hyde:

Hyde was born in Halesowen, Worcestershire, England in 1779, the eldest child of Edward Hyde and Sarah Blunn. Mary also had a younger brother John who was born two years later.

After being transported to Sydney as a teenage convict, Mary became the unmarried partner of Captain John Black (1778–1802) the privateer (state-sanctioned pirate), whaler, ship's captain, navigator and master mariner who named King Island; and later the wife of Simeon Lord (1771–1840) a wealthy entrepreneurial emancipist merchant and magistrate.
