The Tale of Pirates Lost Treasure Event Cache

This cache has been archived.

MaxB on the River: Thanks to everyone that attended. It was again a great success. We had over 30 new people come to the Intro to Geocaching class and about half of them went out with geoteams to hunt their first caches. Those that stopped back said they really liked the hobby and appreciated experienced teams taking them out.
