Geocache Description:

!!!!!CONGRATS TO LincolnB & frog4peace FOR BEING THE FIRST TO FIND!!!!! On May 3rd, 1999, an F-4 monster tornado wiped out the heart of the city of Haysville, south of Wichita. The tornado developed in the rural area south of the town and moved through the center of the business district.
The storm left a swath of damage from Haysville to South Wichita and killed six people.
This cache is the third of 3 that is in remembrance of that great storm and the folks that lost their lives and property.
By the time the tornado had reached this spot it had done most of the damage it was going to do to the town of Haysville. The ground was littered with debris from the Haysville Lumber and Hardware store, Norland Plastics factory and nearby homes. Below are two pictures, one showing the south side of the Norland Plastics factory and one showing an “I” beam from the factory stuck into a yard just south of here.
As you can see in the graph the tornado moved on to Wichita, causing severe damage all along Seneca street. It took 4 months to pick up and burn all of the debris in four huge piles scattered through out town. Quite depressing, smelling and seeing the carnage for four months.
You are looking for a small pill bottle. With few trade items, no pencil.
