Geocache Description:

Arrrr! If ye be up fer a challenge, this be yer cache ya scurvy dawg. It tizzent at the posted coordinates so you’ll have to use yer noggin. ‘Opfully ye ‘aven’t been into the grog.

Arrrr! I’ve been captured by the scurvy muggle Sir ‘enry Morgan. He plundered me treasure and I’ve ended up like all pirates: on the gallows. I’m ‘angin’ up high, so wee scalawags will be needin’ a boost ta grab me.

Travel by ship, boat, or peg leg to the posted coordinates. Usin’ yer spyglass, spot a nearby pirate ship. That be yer startin’ point. You’ll have to examine ‘er from stem to stern along with the nearby area to collect the information you’ll need ta find me hangin’ from the yard arm. There be four things ye need to know to figger out where X marks the spot.

One more thing, ye better know what a pace is. Arrrr!

A= number of redwood trees inside the fence

B= number of spokes on the red wheel + number of Jolly Rogers on the ship

C= number of vertical lines on the orange slide + the number of steps from the ground that lead to the crow’s nest

D= number of circular holes in the hull + the number of white dots on the red wheel

To get started on yer treasure hunt, climb up the riggin’ to the crow’s nest. Keep a weather eye out fer muggles, and if the coast be clear, set sail down the slide.

Walk A paces South.

Walk B paces East.

Walk C paces North.

Finally walk D paces Northwest to find the treasure.

Since me treasure chest's gone, it's just me hangin' in a shallow cove. That way it be 'arder fer the muggles to plunder me gold!
