Geocache Description:

In Cumberland, RI near Chapel Four Corners. Parking available off Rt. 114 one quarter mile south of intersection at James Lynch Memorial Park.

This is our first cache, and had fun creating it. The main cache container is a 9 x 9 x 9" tupperware container with a blue lid. Some general items in the main cache include a 'RIDDLER' action figure, and a 'fake' spider (in case you're afraid of them!), among other things.

Also inside the main container is a 'puzzle' that, when solved, allows the finder to open a orange jar that is sealed w/ a combination lock. We've hidden a TB within the locked container, so if you'd like to take it - you have to set it free by solving the Pirate Puzzle. It would be fun to replace the travel bug with another TB (swapping hostages perhaps?) Inside the log book, there is a symbol key that provides the combination numbers needed to open the lock - these symbols correspond to the symbols found in MIDDLE LINE OF THE PIRATE'S PUZZLE WHEN IT IS SOLVED. One of the symbols is bogus - so be careful!

Finally - PLEASE LEAVE THE PIRATE'S PUZZLE & ORANGE JAR w/ LOCK with the main cache - they are part of the fun!
