Map LOCATION:  Eastern Shore, MD

CHALLENGE:  2 stars

DATE/NUMBER:  07-Feb-1999/2

MAP:  From the appropriate point turn left after the second pond and follow Syracuse's color to four and one score, thence about 30 paces at 74 degrees to an old log. Buried treasure on the other side of the log, near the north end.

 
 
NOTE 1:  The Eastern Shore is possibly the most beautiful and interesting place in the mid-Atlantic region. Bring your convertable, your sweetheart, and your life list, and plan to make a weekend of it.

NOTE 2:  Remember that it is quite an old pirate treasure map, and most of the detail has been obliterated by the passing of the centuries and will be impossible to make out. It is not your TV.

NOTE 3:  This is the original version. It has been superceeded. See note at the new one.

NOTE 4:  Off-trail walking is involved. You may encounter nasty greenbriar depending on your route choice. I walked around them ...

NOTE 5:  There are sensitive wetlands and other wildlife habitat on the Eastern Shore. The box can be found without entering wetlands, and other areas marked "closed" and the like.

NOTE 6:  Be wary of snakes and other wildlife when reaching into dark places. No need to dig for this box (tho it may be covered with a layer of buildup). All bearings magnetic unless otherwise noted. A pace is a long stride counted on a footfall of either foot, i.e. two paces are counted each time the right foot hits the ground. Be aware of if or when there is game hunting in the area.

NOTE 7:  Please re-hide the thing well just as you found it, as you found it.
