Geocache Description:

The above cords only represent the general area and should not be used as a starting point.

I write this to all of the geocachers in hopes that you can help. My uncle Marcus told me of his brother's disappearance in the 1940's while working for Universal Mining Company. My uncle said that during his work as a surveyor, his brother found or heard something that caused him to act differently towards him, but would not talk about it. One week before the first press release concerning the building of the dam, the company stated that Gavin died while working a job north of the Fontana mine. Gavin's wife contacted uncle Marcus about her concerns, and he tried to talk to his & Gavin's bosses, but he was brushed off, and once told to mind his own business if he wanted to keep his job. When the family asked for the remains, they were told that the body had been lost. To this day, nobody knows where Uncle Gavin's body is.

Uncle Marcus has spent most of his life searching for answers concerning what happened to his brother, but he had come up with very little by the time he had passed on. After his passing, I helped my aunt clean out the attic of his belongings. In a trunk, I found a book of job related papers from his time with Universal Mining. See attached image below.

I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out what happened to my uncle, but have come up empty handed. All I've found were the items mentioned above.

Please help me find out what happened to my uncle!
