Just a quick comment on the pirate - The cache pirate has been the only
thing truly fun on these thread for months - By teams responses you can so
easily tell who has a life and who needs to find one. Although not in the
normal real of geocaching and not one we approve of - it sure spiced things
up for a few weeks - If the pirate is ever uncovered there is a few beer and
margaritas waiting him/her compliments of The Lunch Club.
Pirate - Should of waited till the Pirates of the Caribbean movie came out -
could of been a great theme cache.
