This cache resides in a larger ammo box close to the seas that be near thar. Tall rock ledges hang over head. A very slippery bridge, even if dry, by the hollowed water hole & falls. Hold tight to railings. Dangerous footing. DON'T LET CHILDREN GET AHEAD OF YOU. The view is spectacular, but NO PLACE FOR LITTLE ONES TO BE UNATTENDED at any time. In some places the terrain is very high with little room to walk.
PIRATES YE BE WARNED! Thar be Gov.'s men all a run.

Note: from CaPT. NELSON
As you know this cache is dedicated to the promotion of me Pirate Loot, although CaPT BARBOSSA and his crew of miscreants thinks it is his. Nevertheless I will follow your adventures across this hike and not just this hike but the entire ocean, the 'entire world'. Now as long as you're just standing there reading this, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these. What a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance you can accept the fact that you want to have fun or you can't, but having fun is in your blood mate, so you'll have to square with that some day. Now me for example, I can let ye be bored, but I can't have fun all by me onesy, SAVVY ? So can you be havin' fun under the command of a pirate? Or can you not ? Welcome aboard the "Black Pearl", Mate.
Now, ...bring me that horizon.
Drink up, me 'earties, Yo Ho.
Signed, CaPT. NELSON
