Barbados Sam Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I recently got hooked on Geo Caching. What a great hobby for a pirate! Seeking treasure! Anyone else enjoy this hobby? If you don't know about it, check out the website at http://www.geocaching.com My user name is, what else? Barbados Sam!! Seemed natural fer a pyrate to do, eh? I've got close to 70 finds already, and I hid my first cache a few weeks ago. Damn, this is fun stuff!!! "There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize... the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men....Compelled by greed we were, and now we are consumed by it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hand Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I found a web page about letter boxing... kind of the same thing as Geo caching.... but without the GPS..... Making the rubber stamps is the easy part.... but I never got around to hiding them..... I made four stamps outta a carved eraser that when put together would make a Pyrate flag.... maybe I'll get around to hiding them this year.......

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Read about this not terribly long ago in some outdoorsy magazine in a barber shop or some other waiting room. Sound like fun... or a headache... but I am afraid of purchasing a GPS, for fear that I will become obsessed. "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do...

(woulda' had an even 20, but one was muggled....) "There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them.
