Jeff’s Pirates Cove
(In the A-Frame)
There are good ships and there are wood ships,
the ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships are friendships,
and may they always be.

A ST. PATRICK’S DAY GATHERING
After a year’s hiatus due to the Pandemic, this annual event is back again. This is a great chance to reconnect with your geocaching friends or meet others in the local caching community. Everyone wants to know the face behind the caching name we see on logs.
Join us for a bit of food and fun and come prepared for a rousing game of Hobin’s Dice. You’ll need 6 pieces of SWAG or any items of interest to geocachers. The game is typically played with coins, but this version is especially for geocachers. All ages are welcome to join in the fun! The game will start at approximately 12:00 PM . . . before and after the game you have time to participate in some cacher chat, discover trackables, and enjoy some eats and drinks!
Did you know . . .
Leprechauns or “Leath bhrògan” are the cultural symbol of Ireland, with their names translated from ‘shoemaker’. They were said to roam Ireland before humans, with a unique hat and red hair.
In oral tradition, it is still said that you can find their pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, so if you visit Ireland, be sure to have a look. Be careful though, leprechauns may look friendly, but they are not to be trusted.
These little people have been immortalized through famous stories, such as the Disney classic, Darby O’Gill and the Little People.
