"Mad Mab" Longfeather Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 I recently read an article on geocaching, which is using a GPS to locate "treasure" left by random people that have marked the navigational locations, or clues as to where to go next to find said treasure. My take is that GPS's are expensive, but there are other ways o' finding longitude an' latitude... and it makes the hunt harder and more true to our pyratical natures! For more info, go to either: www.geocaching.com OR www.scgeocachers.og (for those in Sunny So. Cal) --Mab Prepare to be boarded!
RyannMacGregor Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 Aye!! Tis a tandy of a sport, and the folks ye be meetin' are a riot too. Been doin' it for many years, and can say you must at least try it. Captain of The Morrighan.
El Pirata Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 If'n ye be ginin me the lat/long I be takin me GPS and be findin yer plunder ye be searchin fer, I not be sayin nothin 'bout sharin. One thing to remember, you can be buyin a decent GPS fer just over 100 bones, that's not a too outlandish price. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.
"Mad Mab" Longfeather Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 Aye, I'll give ye the location... if'n I kin find one that hasn't yet been found! There was a grand one tagged as hidden "when Blackbeard got tired of salt water" (it was hidden at the bottom of a lake), but alas and alak, twas taken recently. --Mab (edited the post 'cos I can't spell worth salty beans) Prepare to be boarded!
El Pirata Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 I be knowin a few in the Caribbean but I be sworn to secrecy on their whereabouts. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.
"Mad Mab" Longfeather Posted October 28, 2003 Author Posted October 28, 2003 Aye, mebbe, but we'll be gettin' it out of ye, yet *wink* --Mab Prepare to be boarded!
El Pirata Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Possible but highly unlikely not til after they been picked clean by me and me crew. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.
"Mad Mab" Longfeather Posted October 28, 2003 Author Posted October 28, 2003 An' wouldn't it be lovely sharin' those goods with a fyne pyrate lass? Eh? --Mab Prepare to be boarded!
Desert Pirate Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Any good pirate geocache's out there...... Don't know about pirate but I have picked up some coins from the late 18 00's and a gold ring geocacheing here in AZ. "There is no safe place in the land of Spain. We'll take the ships and we own the Main."
Captian Wolfy Wench Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Interestin'. Now if only the people I know wif boats won't think me crazy when I tell 'em seriously tha' I plan on usin' their fine vessels to find treasure. Most new boats nowadays 'ave GPS systems installed in 'em already. If they don', I believe they cost quite a pretty penny. Also, they be IMPOSSIBLE to operate. My technologically-dependant Ivy League grad cousin cannot even fig're out tha manual. Captain Wolfy Wench
"Mad Mab" Longfeather Posted November 11, 2003 Author Posted November 11, 2003 Aye, Cap'n... 'twas my worry in the first place. Some of them aren't that expensive, but the good ones (so I have heard) cost a pretty penny indeed. --Mab Prepare to be boarded!
RyannMacGregor Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Alriiiight.....ere's a thought for ye.....if thar be anyone in the Oregon area, who might be interested in this 'ere sport, I'd be more than happy to show 'em, and perhaps put on a little "event", as it is called, when thar be a gatherin' of cachers.
