Lake Lure Dam: On December 30, 1924, Chimney Rock Mountains, Inc. created a subsidiary called the Carolina Mountain Power Company to build a hydro-electric generating facility and dam southeast of Chimney Rock in Rutherford County, North Carolina. In February 1925, Carolina Mountain Power Company sold $550,000.00 in bonds to finance the building of a 104-foot dam across the Rocky Broad River at Tumbling Shoals. One month later the contract to build the dam was given to Mees & Mees Engineering from Charlotte, North Carolina. Soon thereafter, construction was started. Since the main highway was in the impoundment area, construction of a new highway was started at the same time. The Lake Lure dam, crossed by “Buffalo Shoals Road,” was completed on September 20, 1926 at a final cost of more than $1,000,000.00.
Oddly enough, there is one other “Lake Lure Dam” in Bacon County, Georgia, a “Buffalo Dam” in Grant County, Oregon, and the “Buffalo Bill Dam” built near Cody, Wyoming between 1905 and 1910 on the Shoshone River creating the “Buffalo Bill Reservoir.” Who would have guessed that “Buffalo Bill Cody” was from Le Claire, Iowa? And, to think that Buffalo Bill supposedly killed 4,280 buffalo under contract with the Kansas City Railroad for Bison meat in 1867 and 1868! Another, not so famous “Buffalo Bill” appears as a twisted serial killer in the 1988 book and the 1991 movie Silence of the Lambs. Do you suppose that the “Two Dam Buffalo” grocery store in Allen, Nebraska really sells buffalo meat? And, near Warsaw, Missouri the “Truman Dam Buffalo” congregate. (It's likely that hundreds of Missouri anglers are unaware of this fish called the “buffalo”). What do you suppose they were thinking when they named the “Stinking Buffalo Dam” in Harding County, South Dakota? Whew!
Almost forgot one last thing: The forgetful “buffalo birds” (a.k.a. cow birds) who migrated with the Buffalo herds for centuries in the western U.S. that they forgot how to make their own nests. They “borrowed” the nests of other birds, even to the point that other birds hatched their eggs, raised their young, and taught them to sing a different song.
The final coordinates can be found be deciphering the code shown on attached images Number 1, 2, 3 and 4. The KEY to breaking the code is derived by counting the times that “numbers” are used in the cache story above (beginning with “Lake Lure Dam”… and ending with “…song.”) and then dividing by 5.
