This is the first of our Truth or Tale (TorT) Series. Back in the 1800's there were many stones quarries located along the Big Walnut Creek. Legend says that the cache location was the hideout of a bank robber. One morning the banker arrived at the bank to see the front door standing open and called the Marshall. Together they discovered the vault door had been dynamited but all the money was still on the shelves in the vault. Further investigation found a stuffed raccoon, which was usually displayed on the vault, on the floor near the front door. The Marshall decided the bank robber did not see the raccoon which became airborne during the blast and landed on the robber scarring him so much he left without the money. Truth or tale? Not required, but for fun, tell us what you think! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please replace the cache as found to prevent being muggled!
