Blackheart Joe's Lair Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Too Tall John: A note from Blackheart Joe:

[i]Aye, ye scabby scalleywags! I know I'm a pirate, but when I'm told I'm not welcome somewhere anymore, I take my leave and set sail! Well, so's the case today. Me lair's fallen under new governance, and ole Joe's been told he can only go back to retrieve his lucky bottle. So, that's what I'm doin'.

I'm a wee bit disappointed. To my knowledge, nobody's had to sign the log in [b]blood[/b], everyone's remembered their pens![/i]

Geocache Description:

This cache is on the property of Mount Madness. This multi-use park in Ossipee has a lot to offer: ATV trails, skate park, terrain park, hiking, river tubing, paintball, even lodging! Park in the main parking lot while at Mt. Madness. The trail, very faint at times, starts at the given coordinates and winds its way up the mountain. Hiking poles & boots recommended!

Taken from the log of Blackheart Joe:

Some land lubbers happened upon me lair today & I needed to make a quick exit. On me way out, I forgot to retrieve me lucky message in a bottle from it's hidin' place. Hopefully, nobody discovers where it is, because it contains information needed to find me treasure chest.

Find Blackheart Joe's lucky bottle & sign the log. Read the note in the bottle, there's something there that'll be used to solve a puzzle later. Be sure to continue to the summit & check out the views!
