Geocaching with Ragged Mountain Wireless and the Pirates

Pirates, pirate speak, treasure, Ragged Mountain, Keep the light on

ROCKPORT (May 16): On Motherrr's Day, th' Crrrew o' Ragg'd Mountain Wirrreless went trrreasurrre huntin' on Ragg'd Mountain! Captain Morrrgan found th' coorrrdinates t' a rrreporrrtedly rrrich cache on line and we werrre off on ourrr adventurrre! It spy'd t' be a quic kie and easy come 'crrross, but Firrrst Mate Prrriscilla left th' prrroud vessel light on jus' in case!

It werrre bein' a comely day ferrr huntin' and explorrrin'! The bugs werrre manageable and it werrre bein' salty enough that tharrrth' physical activity o' th' hike kept th' body at th' perrrfect temperrraturrre...,! Nayt t' boot hot... not t' boot cold..., Just starrrboarrrd!

Captain Morrrgan prrrogrrramm'd th' coorrrdinates o' th' trrreasurrre into th' GPS and gave th' unit t' Admirrral Peterrr (it werrre bein' his turrrn t' lead th' quest)! The Admirrral sailed, I mean drrrove t' th' prrroximate location indicat'd on th' map and we disembarrrked. The searrrch ferrr trrreasurrre werrre bein' on!

Therrre werrre a few muggles in th' arrrea but not enough t' endangerrr th' hunt, and a bottle of rum! In fact th' muggles turrrn'd out t' be verrry useful. We werrre rrreconnoiterrrin' th' arrrea, spyin' ferrr th' best point t' access th' mountain. Up and down, and down and up th' sea we walk'd until a muggle point'd out a sign marrrkin' th' trrrailhead.

The path werrre bein' fairrrly steep. My legs began complainin' shorrrtly afterrr we starrrt'd up. Captain Morgan and I both began complainin'. "Admirrral Peterrr, how in th' salty sea much furrrtherrr..., and a bottle of rum!? What in th' name o' Davy Jones does th' map say? Arrre ye surrre we haven't pass'd it? Shouldn't we turrrn herrre?" One o' th' benefits o' bein' crrrew be havin' some bilge rrrat t' blame otherrr than yerrrself, and a bottle of rum! The Admirrral lead well and continu'd seekin' th' trrreasurrre without havin' th' crrrew be hoblin' th' plan kie (th' mountain werrre bein' high walkin' a plan kie would not have been fun)!
