Some days you’ll be up, and some maybe down, but the only goal is to have fun all around. You’ll want some friends and a desire to cache because this new feature may show who’s first and who ye could pass.
- July 15-16 – Build your crew by attending or hosting an event and earn a souvenir. The more friends you have on Geocaching.com, the easier it will be to keep sailing on…
- July 17 – 23 – Though the treasure may seem far away, if you work together you’ll earn the first map piece one day.
- July 24 – 30 – Don’t be afraid to take the lead, to earn the next map piece you already have everything that you need.
- July 31 – August 6 – When you work with a crew, earning the third map piece becomes easier to do.
- August 7 – 13 – Challenge yourself to earn the last piece, or else the search for lost treasure will never cease.
Your first souvenir can be earned by attending this event. It will be held at Dungeon Rock in the Lynn Woods.
Boarding times are 10am-10:45am. Group picture at 10:30 before casting off to look for your own treasures.
In 1658, pirate Thomas Veale supposedly buried several chests of gold and silver coins near or inside the cave at Dungeon Rock. Stories say that Veale lived within the cave until an earthquake struck and took his life. In 1852, a man named Hiram Marble bought the cave and built a house and outbuildings on the spot. He moved his wife and son to the area and then excavated a new cave to find the treasure. Marble believed he was receiving directions to the treasure from the ghost of Thomas Veale himself.
There are caches nearby for those who haven't explored these woods.
