This cache has been archived.

arizonaxpj: Thanks, sciuchetti, for grabbing this one for me! I'm glad it had one last group of finders before getting archived. This has been a fun cache in a great little park-I hope another cacher places one here soon. Bye Bellevue!

Geocache Description:

This should be a relatively easy cache, intended for a short family outing. Parking is clearly marked. The coordinates listed are NOT the cache, but close. Solve a puzzle to find your treasure.

This cache was inspired by our son's love of pirate stories, and the puzzle is based on your average 5-year-old's pirate knowledge. The starting coordinates are Pirate Pete's ship, where you will need to explore a little to finish the puzzle. Pirate Pete is a TB (TB10CD) who can be started on his travels by the first to find the treasure chest (a small green container). There is no need to trample any shrubbery, it's right off the path.

The puzzle solution will give you the last 3 digits of the N and W coordinates (after the decimal).

Note (July 07): Pirate Pete's ship is being overhauled, and has changed headings! The only problem this causes is with question #5, so here's the answer until I rework the puzzle--ROCKS

1. One type of pirate treasure
*__ __ W __ L __

2. Pirate in Peter Pan
C __ __ __ __ *__ __ H __ __ K

3. Red and
blue at the top of this ship
*__ __ A __

4. One way off this pirate ship
__ L __ *__ E

5. What you see when you look down off the stern (3 of them)
__ O *__ __ S

6. A pirate's favorite pet
__ *__ R __ __ __
