Yar! After an afternoon sailing the high seas, we made port to celebrate the captains latest haul. While awaiting the kind wenches and our rum, we overheard a squawking parrot. That bloody bird was going on about some new treasure and with our naticaul know how, we chartered a course. Calm seas awaited us and with no other ships on the horizon, we dropped anchor and went a shore. That parrot's squawks lead us to the Big X and with minimal digging, this here Captain's first mate struck gold! Time these old sea dogs voyaged home til it be time for the gathering of pirates! Thanks for the Treasure!

For those who aren't familiar, those are "Shoe Trees" inside the shoes.
CacheMoneyHustlas Log Entry
GOLDEN TICKET FOUND!!!! (Detailed log entry to follow soon!!!!!) Ok, as promised, here is the detailed log of my Golden Ticket find. First let me start by saying that I came so close to finding other tickets 4 times this year, missing in some cases by a mere few feet and fewer minutes, so this ticket tastes extra sweet to me!!! Now for the clue... I toiled over this clue, (see attached image), for hours and hours, trying to figure out what the shoes were telling me. Trying logic such as, two dark shoes with a lighter shoe in between, two with laces one with buckles, Oxfords, etc. etc. and on and on. It wasn't until I stopped focusing on the shoes and started to focus on whats in the shoes that I had the breakthrough!! Ok, what are those things called, I asked myself. I know what they are and what they're for, but what the heck are they called?!?! I googled "Things you put in shoes to help keep their shape" and VOILA!!...Shoe trees!!! JACKPOT!!!! Ok, I now have Three Shoe Trees and immediately discard the shoes to leave me with Three Trees!!! So I set out to searching for the key words Three Tree, Triple Tree, etc. I came back with about 15 or so possibilities. Now to narrow them down!! First eliminate anything not in NJ, and I'm down to 8!! Now eliminate all micro caches and I'm down to 5!! One of them is not far from home, so I immediately beeline it over, but "Swing and a miss"!! So, then there were four!! Another a bit farther to investigate the following day, "no dice". Down to three possibilities!! One north, one south and one east!! Hmmm,...which one to try next?? I was thinking south, when suddenly I saw a new log on the east cache from a very accomplished cacher and attendee of many a Mega event!! OH NO!!! SOMEONE ELSE HAS FIGURED OUT THE ANSWER!!!, I GOTTA MOVE NOW!!! North or South?? Which to choose!! North is closer to me and hasn't been found in over a year!! NORTH IT IS!!!! So, off I go as quickly as safely possible, sweating at each red light and fearing that someone might beat me to my destination! So 40 minutes later I'm driving down a long, dead end street and praying that no one has gotten there first. I reach the end of the road and YAY!!! NO OTHER CARS!!! I quickly jump out and set off into the woods!! I follow my GPS to ground zero and what appears to be my target as the cache name says,..... WHAT?!?! Where is it?!?! No cache??? Did it get muggled??? So I start expanding my search, looking for anything that remotely matches the cache name, and suddenly,....low and behold,......EUREKA!!! I FOUND THE CACHE!!! Now the butterflies in my stomach hoping that all of my effort and calculations are correct as I slowly unscrew the lid of the cache............ YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOLDEN TICKET NUMBER 10!!!!!!!!!!!! What a flood of emotions!!! Anyway, I sat there in the woods silently, reveling in my victory for about 10 minutes or so, and then took the required picture, logged my find and sent my email to NNJC!! The rest as they say, is history!!! And that's all I have to say about that!!! (Wow!!! This might win the record for the longest Geo log ever!!! Who am I,...Tolstoy?!?! LOL!!!)
