***Clue in this cache may look like trash... Please do not take it or throw it away... Thanks***
Not long ago, a pirate decided to bury his treasure in the wonderful land of Colorado. I always thought that pirates in Colorado seemed a bit farfetched. I mean, Colorado. Pirates. That’s crazy. Colorado, is like, far away from the sea. But legends and rumors state that some pirates washed ashore, and decided to break some pirate stereotypes by heading inland as far as Monument, Colorado to hide treasure. These legends are obviously greatly exaggerated …or so I thought.
Recently, while looking through old library books (because that’s what I like to do for fun sometimes), I found an old map to one of these alleged treasure stashes. Unfortunately, the map was all weird and encoded. It belonged to a pirate named Greenbeard. Don’t even ask, because I have no idea. I know that Blackbeard’s beard was black, but, you know what? It doesn’t even matter. What matters is that legend says that Greenbeard was a tyrannical pirate, and ruthless.
Greenbeard is said to have hidden three separate caches of treasure throughout Colorado. Each contains a vague clue to his final treasure. Once you have all the vague pieces of the puzzle, you will be able to hopeful decode the location of Greenbeard’s final treasure trove. These “stashes” could be compared to primordial geocaches. Anyways, you’re probably wondering why I’m telling you this. I like treasure, but not danger. I was thinking, “What if you like treasure AND danger?” If so, it’s a win-win. You retrieve the treasure, solve the clues, and not get killed, and then we share it, 20-80. Sounds like a fair deal to me.
Be careful though, because it’s a dangerous hunt, and if you get hurt along the way and can’t find the treasure, then I don’t get my 80 percent. So it should be simple. Find each of Greenbeards three stashes, locate the clue in each one, put the vague puzzle pieces together, find the treasure, and give it to me.
When searching for each piece, please do not remove the clue from the cache, as others after you will need it. Greenbeard can be kinda cheap, so there’s a cool bracelet the he bought at Wal-Mart from the clearance aisle for like, 25 cents. Greenbeard will award this as a FTF prize. BYOP.
