TIP: Stand in front of giant green
"
message box." (Anyone know what this thing is?) Take 23 paces
South by Southeast to the heart of the
Gnarly Tree. (Was a cool tree... Sadly most of it has been
cut down 3/2008.) Standing on the heart of the Gnarly Tree, take 28
paces west (around fence) to location of cache.
This cache started out with Civil War relics (replicas)
including:
- C.S.A. Belt Buckles Uniform Buttons
- Several denominations of C.S.A. currency
- Postcard photos
If you have anything Civil War or Southern related, please feel
free to swap! Otherwise enjoy a beautiful sunset or sunrise on the
island.
*Smut is a childhood nickname given by Captain Bill.
[Update: 7/17/2007. There is a very close by benchmark. See
this photo.]
[Update: 3/15/2008. We have reports the Gnarly Tree has been
cut. Can someone post a photo in the gallery?]
[Update: 3/30/2008. We are sad to report that our father passed
away on Good Friday, March 21, 2008, after a round of golf with two
of his sons. Thanks to the hundreds of geocachers who posted here
over the past 4 years. Our dad really enjoyed reading every post.
He always loved a good treasure hunt.]
