Though surely I hid it well, my treasure has been discovered.
Four brave crews unlocked the clues and with seeming ease flew over oceans and across continents. They traveled virtually to the far side of the world.
Finally in Egypt, at the Great Pyramid of Giza they found my treasure.
Well done my virtual pirates!
The prodigious pillagers and/or plunderers are:
Raymond’s Raiders (Happy Birthday Ray!)
Shane’s Scallywags
Kendall’s Knaves
Michael’s Marauders
(Since there were only four entries and I made five prizes everybody wins, just like in kindergarten. Actually I never went to kindergarten but I’ve heard the rumors. Next time I’ll try to curb my enthusiasm a bit more I guess.)
Now as for your reward, though the hunt was virtual, the treasure is real.
Each brave crew will receive one of the treasure chests you see below.
Each is equally filled to overflowing with spectacular treasure much less glorious than any mere mortal could ever imagine.
As for the actual contents… you don’t think I’d spoil it for you now do you? You’ll have to wait until you open the chest to discover the wondrous loot. (As was implied above, actual loot may not be so wondrous.)
Just a hint though, for your imagination. The chests themselves be made of the most rare and precious, oh I dunno, let’s say… pine. They were gifts from my good friend and the best pirate you’ve ever heard of, Captain Jack Sparrow. Inside them ye shall find all manner of genuine zero carat golden goodies and delicious gemstone-like treasures that’ll make your eyes widen and your mouth water. They be the spoils of years of high-seas conquests hard fought and won. That plus some standing in line at Wal-Mart.
I hope it will be a satisfactory prize for your valiant efforts.
So until next time thanks everyone for playing. I hope you enjoy your well earned reward.
Yours truly,
Bob Loblaw (the dread pirate)
P.S. Ray, I’ll send yours in the mail. I will deliver everyone else’s myself.

We are so excited. I saw some of that "pirates booty" gum the other day on the internet. I hope there is some of that in those lovely chests. I was actually looking for a nice chest to take to work for the kiddies to pick a prize out of after I torture them...so double thanks. Of course Kate will have that thing up in her room and filled with "special stuff" before you can say Arrggghh!
Yayyy!!!! Lorin those prizes look awesome. You are so fun!!! You seriously are the best planner of fun things...and gifts too! (I recall the last pirate raid we did with the GPS) and the work and time you put into it makes it all the more fun. Wow!!! Our girls just saw the picture of the treasure box on the blog and are already bouncing off the wall. (Can't imagine what they'll be like when they see it in person).
Wow those treasure chests are super cool. The treasure hunt was a great idea!
