Geocache Description:


CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES

When word reached us that the Straw Hat Pirates had a whole Letterbox series out here in the Mid-Atlantic waters, built in honor of our adventures, I, Shanks, couldn’t help but laugh and raise a glass. You’ve got no idea how much that means to us.

Now, I haven’t cracked the whole puzzle myself… but I did notice some stiff-collared “World Government types” and their prissy little Celestial Dragon heirs trying to snatch the prize. I’ve never cared much for those pompous fools, and I certainly don’t take orders from them—so, naturally, I slipped in, hid a cache of my own, and now… it’s your turn to play.

If you’re seeing our mark on the map, that D wasn’t drawn by accident. You know what it stands for—the Will of D. Click each one, and you’ll learn a little more about the kind of people carrying that will forward.

Heh… as for me, the treasure’s waitin’, affixed to a tree just above the western bank of the Patuxent. Look up, and you’ll see a purple bison… that’s your mark. I left it from my boat, so you’ll have to fetch it the same way. Don’t dawdle… the sea’s patient, but it won’t wait forever."

Follow this link to download a Play Anywhere Wherigo. Answer three simple questions, and when you’ve got them right, the final coordinates will be yours. I’ll be waiting for you there—with a smile and maybe a drink, if you’ve earned it.

Don’t overthink it. Take it slow. Smile a little. After all, a chase is only fun if you do it your way—and never for those who think they can buy the world.
