Sunken ships, pirates’ booty and a tiki bar stocked with rum: a paradise fit for the Pirate in all of us, and it can be found at Dreaded Legends in Punta Gorda, FL. Dreaded Legends has become a popular event in the CPX Legends Series since its inception 3 years ago. This swashbuckling battle, graced with Pirate greats such as Captain Morgan, Blackbeard and Calico Jack, is located at Florida Tracks and Trails. Punta Gorda has a history when it comes to Pirates and Pirating, even having their own Pirate celebrations and festivals. It is fitting that this battle among Buccaneer and Marauder paintballers takes place in such a historic town. Florida Tracks and Trails and CPX have gone to great lengths over the last three years to continually improve this field, add ons, changes and even subtractions have been made largely off customer feedback. Some of the greatest attractions still hold true whether you’re battling for control of the village, dealing justice in the courtyard or seeking out hidden treasure at the ship wrecks. You are never too far from a shootout that could stop you dead in your tracks. There is a group of men that the most thanks goto when it comes to the improvements in the field over the years. The MDP Vandals have invested much pride and workmanship into the field to create such a unique experience for the players. The field, palm plants, and beautiful sunny weather swept the northern winter blues right from under my nose! www.paintball.media 023
