Not someone you would ever want to meet, Mad Dog Coll was given the
nickname for his disregard for human life including children. On
July 28, 1931, Coll unsuccessfully attempted to kidnap Joey Rao, a
Dutch Schultz underling. The resulting shootout left a five year
old child, Michael Vengali, dead and several children wounded.
After this atrocity, New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker dubbed Coll
“Mad Dog” and the whole city started looking for him. A
$50,000 bounty was put on Mad Dog and he was gunned down while
making a call in a phone booth in 1932.
Always beware of those ground critters that would like to bite
you. This area is their home and not friendly in the summer time
when they are out and about.
Since this area is hard to get around, it may be beneficial to
use your tracking option in your gps to find your way back out. It
will be a big area to walk or you can drive and walk (if you have
clearance) but not only just drive to all these caches in the
series. And using Google Earth will not be 100% beneficial either.
The photos are very old and are not what they show. Things have
grown considerably since the photos were taken. What looks like
roads are now over grown. It will be a challenge to get around and
find these caches and not everyone will conquer this challenge.
Even though all the caches in this series are film containers,
they should be easy to find since all are either in a pile of
rocks, duh, plenty of those around, or some other identifiable item
to help locate them. Please do not make it hard for the next cacher
by hiding it better than you found. Since it is out in the expanse,
I do not want these to be any harder to find then they already are
and I want everyone to find them that ventures out. The trick, is
however, to get where the caches are.
