Geocache Description:

If there can be 101 caches named for 101 Dalmatians, why not 1000 caches named for David’s favorite salad dressing, Thousand Island? Imagine 1000 little green micros like the bits of sweet pickle in a serving of Thousand Island dressing. Each cache is named after an island and corresponds to the island in some way.

Our second island is Ocracoke. It is one of the barrier islands of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Both of us have been to Ocracoke but we weren’t together. David left Raleigh in the middle of the night to see the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean and Diana went with her mother and aunt because they’d never been to the Outer Banks. North Carolina’s most famous non-Geocaching pirate, Blackbeard planned to fortify Ocracoke as a pirate haven. Before he could carry out his plan, Blackbeard was killed in battle near Ocracoke inlet, his head severed, and his body thrown overboard. The cache is a 2-stage multi. The first stage is a spice bottle that is on the ground between the roots of a large tree. It contains coordinates for the next stage.. The second stage is a small container that is well hidden in a log on the ground. There's lots of poison ivy at stage 2. When looking for each stage of the cache, think about the name of the island. Note: On Dec. 13, 2006 (David's birthday) we visited Ocracoke together. We were on a Geocaching run through the barrier islands off the coast of NC working on the DeLorme Challenge Cache.
