Geocache Description:


This nameless island is a place of mystery and intrigue, its rocky shores lashed by the waves of countless passing boats. But beyond the waves, in the shadows of the trees, there is a treasure that has been cursed for centuries.

The treasure is said to belong to a group of thieves who had amassed a vast hoard of gold and jewels, and had hidden it on the island in hopes of one day returning to claim it. But their plans had been foiled when they were captured and executed by the authorities.

The chest remained hidden for many years until a group of treasure hunters stumbled upon the island. They had heard the stories of the curse, but they were determined to find the riches that lay hidden beneath the trees.

Finally, they found the treasure, buried deep beneath the island’s stones. When they tried to leave the island with their loot, the curse had already taken hold, and they found themselves trapped there, unable to escape.

Years passed, and the hunters grew old and weak, their bodies ravaged by time. They had become the guardians of the cache, doomed to protect it for all eternity.

And so the cursed treasure remains hidden, waiting for the next group of treasure hunters to come and try their luck. But they should be warned, for the curse still lingers, waiting to claim its next victim.
