Trust in your old mother, boys!

Week 5 of Buzzard’s Booty: Quest for the Lost JBT Treasure is here—and with it, the final chapter of this legendary adventure. Later today, eight clever teams are walking away hundreds of dollars richer, and there’s still time to carve your name into this treasure-hunting tale.

As Mouth said best, this is “our last Goonie weekend,” so make it count! Keep following the map, dodge those booby traps, and don’t get distracted if you smell ice cream.

One final push stands between you and glory—because Goonies never say die! Keep tabs on rival crews by using the leaderboard and heatmap. The cut-off for the leaderboard prize is 11:59 pm on the day Buzzad’s Booty is found, although it will, mathematically speaking, likely be decided before then.

Good luck to all the teams! I look forward to celebrating your achievements at the 1 pm award ceremony. Completing the adventure is not required to attend the event at the JBT Lititz branch located at 670 Furnace Hills Pike.
