The pirates of Smartpark have come off the "lake" and need your help in deciphering their map to find their "cache" of treasure. The co-ordinates lead to the lake and X marks the spot. Please be aware of parking restrictions. You can walk the area and find the cache or expedite the process with a vehicle.

If ye be needing hints, they are available, but an oath to the pirate code must be sworn.

Decided to bike to a geocache today. However, due to mass biking in the past few days, I didn't particularily want to go too far . This cache was the closest to me... so I figured I'd go for it. I was somewhat debating if I had the skill needed to find this one, as the map is... somewhat vague.

Also... I lacked a working printer. Thusly, a pen and paper worked well enough, making a vague recreation of the map. It worked enough . After biking over to the U of M, I located ground zero and checked the map. However, I was lucky. Just before I reached ground zero, I reached a mental breakthrough with the polar bears on the map. Y'see, it really threw me off, since when I went to university, that particular location housed birds instead .

A little bit of wandering later, and I was at the cache location. Took me a bit to locate the correct spot though. Was contemplating walking a grid pattern, but then spotted the cache. VICTORY IS MINE!

And as added 'something to look at while you're here'... see attached pic . Note: That is NOT the X in the description. The X mentioned there is the one on the paper, and is not located at the actual site . My 'something to look at' is NOT located near the cache. It's moreso close to the entrance to the area as a whole. Enjoy .

Took: Nothing
Left: Logbook entry, chainmail ball, and blair witch stick figure .
