Geocache Description:


 

Heyyyyyy Youuuuuu Guyyyyyysssss.....

It has recently come to our attention that One Eyed Willy and his band of Pirate Scoundrels visited the East Coast, and stashed some of their loot on a small island near Hanover, Pennsylvania. From Journals found lately, In April of 1672, King Phillip IV commissioned 5 ships to hunt down the Inferno and her crew. Before heading off, Willy stashed a bit of treasure in the area, to keep it from the Spanish Armada.

Be the first to find this long lost treasure but beware the island is full of Boobie Traps (Canadian Geese). To beat Willy, You will have to follow the trail and solve his multiple puzzles in order to find the treasure. Looks like there will be 5 places to visit while on this treasure hunt. 

Don’t forget that the entire Island has been Boobie Trapped (Geese and Nests) and that you should Always Pay Attention to YOUR Surroundings instead of focusing just on the treasure map (Your Phone). 

Watch out for the Fratelli’s (Muggles) you don’t want them to find the treasure!! 

Get your Treasure Hunting Gear Ready, Check Your Supplies, All Treasure Hunters should have their TOTT's.

IT ALL STARTS WITH A MAP……which you will find at the above coordinates. Certitude available to help with this stage.

Safe and Happy Caching, ToddersNHalfdime

THIS IS NOT A SUITABLE CACHE FOR LITTLES OR GEOPETS. THERE ARE CANADIAN GEESE NESTING ON THIS ISLAND, DON'T BE A CARELESS FRATELLI!! PLEASE RESPECT THE AREA AND THE WILDLIFE!!

This is NOT a QUICK CACHE, Please plan to be on the island for AT LEAST ONE HOUR, IT MAY TAKE LONGER. Keep in mind the weather and the park hours.
