Thin's be comin' together for t' Pirate Quest on March 11. We have lots o' cool surprises in t' works and hope that everyone will be able t' make it t' t' Bucks Mills Rod & Gun Club in Bucksport. By now, you have probably heard about this Pirate Auction we be plannin'. Seems as though some o' t' Pirate doubloons in t' till be missin' too. You might want t' keep your eaye and ears open because it might just make it t' a cache near you!

Oh, I wish I could go! It looks like you guys will be having a lot of fun. Nice web page and I'm sure everyone's imaginations will be on overdrive to think up some cool costumes. Arggggggggg!

Sounds like fun. I hope we can make it.

I know. I am going to have to start thinking of something now. I really hope I can make this event. I hope everyone wears a costum because it only adds to the fun. This sounds like a real ball or should say a real ball and chain event.

I was thinking of coming as Tinker Bell! :p :p

(Sheesh! Hiram can come as Peter Pan! We know he'll never grow up! :p :p )

Yeah - probably not such a good idea. I was thinking of the size of the wings I'd need... SHEESH! :D :D

Guess all I really need to do is bring a bottle of rum. Yo, ho, ho, and all that... ;) ;)

Having trouble getting into the spirit? Try this:

That makes me "Mad Prudence" - a rather fitting name indeed - LOL

Have used this one a couple of times and I keep coming up Mad Lizzie..........arghhh - does that mean I have been bitten by something?

Will be ready for the venture.........arghhhh, have been seeking dubloons and runnin' from them buchaneers........there are songs and whispera' in them woods and on tha' shores

That makes me "Mad Prudence" - a rather fitting name indeed - LOL

Oh No! When I did it, you came up as Buccaneer Charity (of course I used your cacher name). I left a note for you on the event page, I bet you can figure it out.

:D :D :D Frosty Swordfish:D :D :D


I'm frosty swordfish

Connie is Iron Mary :D :D :D

That's funny - I was wondering what the heck you were talking about - LOL!! Yes, you can be sure I would be more than happy to take those pesky gems off your hands.

Shall we start calling you "Sealegs John"?

Too funny! I can't stop laughing!!

I got "Bloody Foote" !?!?

At least that's better than Swashy Basingstoke!

Well I have to talk Tink into this. Oh no, I just realized it is on a Sunday. Oh this is going to be harder then I though. I promised Tink a weekend of snowmobiling up north and she has really been looking forward to it.

I will see what I can do. I really, really want to attend this.

Using my knickname = Swashy Ivan

Using my Firefighterjake knickname = Jolly Obadiah

I've asked everyone I know if they can make Tink Brownies for the event and just nobody measures up...what am I to do? ;) :) :D
Don't give up yet. I will work on her.

AHOY! This sounds like fun. I have t' trusty clipper, but I be needin' t' weigh anchor with a few shipmates so I don't have t' fear t' seafarin' plunderers all alone.

Would thar be anyone that would like t' set sail with me?" Jamaica Sue (aka Twin 2 of Hiker Twins)

" Dirty Truelove " and " Yardarm Brigand ", will B walkn ta plank Matees. We B letn you decide who B who.

I have a question about coming in costume. Are we going to arrive in our costumes or are we just going to put them on at a certain time and display them for a contest or how is that going to work?

Rick, (and anyone else thinking this same thing) I think some people are coming in regular clothes and changing once they arrive. We will probably vote right before the auction (roughly 3 pm) so if you wanted to change back, that would be probably the best time, after the vote, before the auction.

Real Name = Gunwalls Rackham
GC Name = Keelhaul Morgan (WOO HOO!! Just call me Capt. Morgan!! Arrrrg matey!)

LOL!! Stef's = The Evil Mermaid Esmerelda

Hey! I already SAID that I was bringing the rum bottle! Sheesh! :p :p

(Maybe I'll just show up as the pirate ship's anchor...) ;) ;)

Oh no. It is not looking good for me. I am trying to juggle two things at the same time for this weekend and it looks like we may not be able to make it. I will keep everyone posted. I am crossing my fingures.

We'll be headed that way sometime this morning,have my granddaughter in tow,will see everyone there.Sounds lke fun.

Had a really great time at the event!! Thanks for all your hard work on this one, it was plain to see that a lot of thought went into this event. We especialy enjoyed watching the young ones having fun. "Calypso Gail" will never forget this one, she had a great time. Thanks again,,,"dave and Gail"

So many great things to say about this event, great food, great people, great prizes, great job setting this whole thing up, it shows that you guys put a lot of time into this event (either that or you have us all fooled :rolleyes: ) We had a great time! :D

Looks like everyone had a great time by the pictures. I am really sorry I missed this one. I really wanted to attend, but I make Tink a promise of a weekend of snowmobiling and that was where we went. I am bummed that I missed this but on the bright side Tink and I had a great time.

It was a great time. I just finished uploading all my pics (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=06f6c87c-0757-4b63-ad83-d6751e86e102). Hopefully will have some videos of the auction soon.

Wow! What a great event, and very well organized! My aunt and I had lots of fun! Great meeting everyone that I could. Thanks for the event!!

Not sure if Rick decided we could imbed YouTube videos, so here's a link for now of 7 of the many auctions that took place. Lots of fun!

I want one of both.

I'll sell you mine! Ok, lets start the bidding at $1,000,000, do I hear 2? ! :)

1 million in pirate bucks maybe!!!! LOL

Yeah, I've got plenty of pirate bucks if anyone needs any for their scrapbooks, bathroom wallpaper, etc...

I was looking through some of the boxes last night and found the pile of votes for the Pirate Chef Contest. Does anyone want to own up to be "Squishy Mucos?" LOL

I think that was Brad:D

mmmmm.... Florida Snow Chili

Man, that was good.

Was thinking about putting a crock pot in the car for cooking at the event. I will bring the snow chili recipe - agreed Tat- it was far too good. Yumm!

No chili for anyone sleeping near me!

Fight fire with fire, I say. A couple of bowls of chili, one or two of Hiram's "special" beers, you'll be a ticking time bomb:eek:

I have an inverter you can use to plug it into! :)

Then how about baked beans?:rolleyes: You can do those in a crock pot too?;)

Hummm, the Geotruckers web site has recipes - maybe I should check them out.:D

Cameoooooo, do you know how many people attended this great event??

85 people. That equates to about $23205.00 in Pirate Cash, not including the millions. Glad that you could come down from NB.
