I still think this is a good, harmless, and creative spin on the game. I will keep my eye (the one without the patch) on the lookout for this pirate. From what I've read thus far, it doesn't look like Capt. Morty has done anything wrong, especially if all the cache contents are individually bagged and waiting in a different cache location. It sounds like the pirate is leaving clues as to where they may be located. I think we're all just a little bit on edge and people are prematurely jumping into a defensive stance bearing fangs just because someone has a new idea. -FroBro Q-Tip -----Original Message----- From: az-geocaching-admin@listserv.azgeocaching.com [mailto:az-geocaching-admin@listserv.azgeocaching.com]On Behalf Of Aus Dem Kasten Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 4:45 PM To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] Re: Cache Pirates Here is what Morty has in his profile.
