GeoNightmare Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Looks like the pirate site is now gone. Too bad, they put a good twist to the game. Quote Link to comment

+Johnnie Stalkers Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 I found a cache this week, or should I say remains of a cache. It was a jar with pennies in it from the 60's. Very good hiding spot that I seriously doubt anyone would find by accident. the pennies where missing and the jar broken, but in its rightful place. Might I mention that the hiding spot was in a hallow tree branch almost 6 feet off the ground. What did the pirates do? I wasn't around then. Understand what? My purpose? You know that. To find the Tower is my purpose. I'm sworn. -Roland, The Gunslinger Quote Link to comment

Jomarac5 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 In a recent e-mail with the owner of the pirate website, he told me that he closed it because he was receiving death threats from cachers. Kind of sad when you think about it. ***** Quote Link to comment
