Captain Barnacle Pete's Rural Cache Quest

The Forgotten Roost

Their journey then carried them beside a hedgerow to a curious place whispered about by sailors as The Forgotten Roost. According to Kevin, an old pirate once used the spot to send secret messages by bird, although Pete suspected he mostly used it to avoid paying tavern bills. Near an old tree stump stood a weathered bird box that looked as though it had witnessed a hundred pirate adventures. Pete investigated carefully while muttering theories about hidden treasure and highly intelligent owls. After startling a spider that appeared equally surprised to see him, Pete uncovered the next clue and proudly announced himself “Admiral of Roosts, Nests, and Other Bird-Related Treasure Facilities,” much to Kevin’s embarrassment.
