a lost gold treasure story
its been at least 10yr since ive been to this park and only there one time
just one of those places we stopped at, coming from and going to while on vac
and had never heard the story of the outlaws, i knew about the indians, and stuff,
but not anything about gold, has anyone ever heard about the outlaws
from what i remember, it was rough hiking, off trail, and the scenery was great
the park belongs to Craig & Sandra Weston,the site says they live there too
In the early 1800's, outlaws used the rocks to hide their loot. Once, a courier carrying a gold shipment
to the Clymer bank was waylaid. The gold was supposedly dropped into a hole in the rocks at night.
When the robbers returned, they couldn't find the gold because there were so many holes. An organized
search was begun, but it was suddenly abandoned before being completed. The man who was in charge of the
search was suspected of being one of the robbers.
