Hi Guys:
Last Summer I was told of a Cache in Johnson County Illinois, I went to this Site By Horseback, It's kinda back in the boonies, When I got there all I knew was that a Old Fellow Lived on the place for years, he owned a Orchard & several businesses in Town, This Gentleman Raised his Grandson, & his Grandson told this Story to Neighbors ,Which are Friends of mine, They took me To the Old house site, The House is gone now, just a few foundation Blocks left there with tons of Flowers Growing wildly everywhere, A old Fence row leads off downhill into the woods,it ends at a large tree.
Here is What I was Told, Each time The ole timer had to go into town for something, he would go off down the hill from the house,stand at the edge of the Orchard for a few minutes looking around,,he would then disappear off into the woods down the hill for a bit, He would return with Cash, When they came home from town ,,the same thing,, down the hill, looked around,,disappeared down the hill,came back empty handed!!!,,,The Grandson told this himself,,He lived with his grandpaw & saw this himself,,This Ole timers Grandson is around 68 years old & is still hunting for his Grandfathers Stash, He shows up there about once or twice a year driving a Cadillac disappears into the woods, comes out later & leaves,, His grandfather Died at home,no bank account,no Cash Found afterwards either. I told my friends that when he showed up again to have him call me,, I went into these woods down the hill from the house, I didn't find any Money ,,Yet,, ,there was a low lying bluff just down the hill,, I walked around this bluff to the bottom & stepped in front of a huge overhang,, I looked down at a big Oval shaped Rock,it sits right dead center in front of the overhang,, there on the Rock was a Flintlock rifle & a Flintlock Pistol Carved into the Rock. This doesn't seem to me like it would be the work of the ole timer? on one side of this overhang to the right looking into the overhang,there is a rock Wall about five foot high which runs across to a very large rock & stops,, this wall is made from stacking squared rocks on top of each other,,, out in front of the overhang farther downhill is a rather large pile of Rocks,they are to far from any field to have been from clearing that I can see. I really don't know where to look in this spot,everywhere looks like a Great hiding spot<G>,
My Question is ,,Should I leave this one alone, Since the Grandson is hunting for it sometimes, Should I try to find it,then try to contact him even though I don't know his name? This Cache can't be far from the overhang, If The Grandson is telling the truth about what he is trying to find,, I do find it Odd That The Grandson is telling the neighbors what he is looking for,they think there is a ton of Cash hide there,,,Or Maybe Is this fellow actually hunting for something Else?? Those Rock Carvings look alot older than early 1900's, which is the timeframe on this. I hope im not stepping on anyones toes here,,Since I don't know this person,,Blame the Neighbors<G>!!! Give me some advice on this Guys
Should I leave This one alone??
