Geocache Description:

A small cache hidden on the USC Campus.

To all Geocachers, About a year ago I was given two old pieces of yellowed parchment with hand drawings on them. They were given to me by an elderly aunt who has recently passed away. As I recall, she told me that the drawings represented numbers that would lead to a small treasure. As she had always been eccentric, I put the papers into a drawer and forgot them. After her death I remembered the hand drawings and have since become obsessed with finding out if there really is a treasure or if the symbols mean anything at all. I thought about numbers leading somewhere and decided that it must mean coordinates, so I talked with my friends Wee Lee and Smudge to see if they could help. They said they were too busy to deal with it, but would list it as a Geocache and see if anyone found it. I suspect that they cannot figure it out. Please, I do not care about finding the treasure for myself, only knowing if there really is one. As I said this has become an obsession with me and if someone could find it and log it I could quit wondering whether or not it really exists. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Vern Bedenbaugh P.S. Open the image links below to see the drawings.
