De korrekta koordinaterna till cachen är gömda i piratberättelsen nedan, om du löser mysteriet, kommer du att kunna logga ett av dina (troligen) största fynd!

Det var en gång ett sjörövarskepp som seglade på haven, skeppet hette ”Dala” och var jättestort och ståtligt. En dag fick kapten tag i en hemlig karta och skrek ut till männen på däck, "-Vi seglar norrut!" Alla de sextio besättningsmännen tyckte om kaptenen men trodde han blivit lite galen och kanske hade han noll koll nuförtiden. Nio av besättningsmännen tyckte att han kanske borde avgå, han hade ju trotts allt varit kapten nu i sex år utan att ha hittat någon skatt. Men kaptenen som var listig, men hade lite otur med just skatter, visste vad han gjorde. Han hade ju sett till att det ståtliga skeppet fått extra kanoner ombord, trettioåtta stycken för att vara exakt och det gillade ju alla besättningsmän.
Helt plötsligt upptäckte kaptenen att de seglat fel, de skulle ju svängt vid den förra ön! Nya order skreks snabbt ut till besättningen, "-Sväng österut!". Återigen trodde många av besättningsmännen att kapten hade tappat förståndet och hade noll koll. De femton skeppskatterna ombord tog dock all uppståndelse med ro och låg lugnt kvar och gassade i solen på däck. När de seglat i elva dagar kom de fram till ön som kaptenen sa att de skulle ankra vid. Kaptenen avslöjade sin hemlighet till besättningsmännen och valde ut femtiotvå av de som fick följa med honom och leta efter skatten. Nu tyckte de inte att han var så dum ändå, som hade hittat kartan som äntligen skulle leda de till skatten. Efter att ha letat och letat lyckades de till slut gräva upp skatten och lyfte sakta på locket. Till deras förtjusning fanns där guldpengar i mängder, äntligen var de rika! Men där fanns också diamanter som var extra värdefulla. Dessa tog kaptenen och fäste på skeppet för att det skulle bringa tur. De gav så mycket tur att kaptenen och hans besättningsmän hittade fem skatter till, på samma ö! Tänk så det kan gå... SLUT

The correct coordinates to the cache are hidden in the pirates tale below, if you solve it, you will be able to log one of your (probably) biggest finds!

There was once a pirate ship sailing on the seas, the ships name was “Dala” and was huge and impressive. One day the captain got hold of a secret map and yelled out to the men on deck, "-We sail north!" All the sixty crewmen liked the captain but thought he was a bit crazy and maybe he had zero ideas nowadays. Nine of the men thought that perhaps he should resign, he had been captain for six years now without having found any treasures. But the captain who was clever, but had some bad luck with great treasures, knew what he was doing. He had made sure that the gallant ship had extra cannons on board, thirtyeight pieces to be precise and all crew members liked that of course.
All of a sudden the captain discovered that they had sailed wrong, they should have made a turn at the last island! New orders were quickly shouted out to the crew, "Turn east!" Again, many thought the captain was going crazy and had zero idea. The fifteen cats aboard, took all the fuss with peace and continued to geese in the sun. When they had sailed for eleven days, they came to the island. There the captain said they should throw in the anchor. The captain revealed his secret to the crew and selected fifty-two of the crew to come with him and look for the treasure. Now they didn’t think he was stupid anymore, he had after all found the map that would finally lead to the treasure. After searching and searching they finally managed to dig up the treasure and slowly lifted the lid. To their delight there were as much gold as they could carry, at last, they were all rich! However, there were also diamonds that was extra valuable. The captain took them and mounted them on the ship, so that it would bring luck. That little trick worked very well and they were so lucky that the captain and his crew found five treasures, on the same island! How about that… END



In Sweden there are far too many micros and nanos, this cache tries to compensate for that a bit. A few caches which we have encountered are indeed large, like this one; GC2C5MB. But others do definitely not meet the requirements to be specified as a large cache, even if their owner sometimes thinks so.

According to the guidelines a 'Large' cache size should have a volume that is equivalent to 5 US gallons. This translates to a little less than 19 liters (Groundspeak rounds this to 20L in the guidelines). This is quite a lot and I have rarely come across caches that are this big. I belive it's more fun to find big caches (especially for children) and therefore I urge everyone to place more of these large caches =)
