Geocache Description:


Where’s my Wooden Leg? - I’m sure it has been said by a pirate somewhere!
So-called ‘peg legs’ may have been a reality on pirate ships due to the high risk of injuries, but again, there are no eyewitness accounts to suggest anyone wore them. Just like the pirate trope of buried treasure, the popular use of eyepatches and peg legs stems from Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, in which Long John Silver has both.


VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE BRING A TOWEL WITH YOU
