I notice the date on that was Aug. 1941 .. So that is a new twist that I'd never read.

This reads like a variation of the Clinch versions of the journal. Seems like they all contain a murder of one character or another...I've seen nothing up Blackburn branch other than a few carvings...one being a supposed grave site of Blackburn. Same Blackburn?

Hmmmmm Brushy and I know where a big turtle rock is near the Caney Creek boat ramp, if you eliminated the road thru there is could be a box canyon of sorts...if you stand on the turtle rock and look down stream --right across form the Indian mine (near the 101 carving) is a cliff you can see thru. It is not the gap with a lid ...but high up..of course we are always trying to make what we know fit the story...haha.

That is all any of us can do, since there is nothing left to go by but the journals! Classic treasure legend issue.... trying to make things fit, and read between the lines...

Actually from the window in the TurtleBack Rock pic I posted in another topic, you can look through and see the mouth of a branch, up this branch is a area where you can find a very small hole in the ground. It actually drops down about 10ft like Swift describes and levels off. It's a dangerous cave with the creek running underground and huge sink holes and drop offs. I've been in this cave once, but that was before I got into the Swift legend.. Area fits the description of the middle mine location.
