The hanging of Francis Staves Traditional Cache

In the spring of 1838, Francis Staves robbed and murdered John Pelton as they traveled near Chesterton,  IN. This was the first murder in Porter County.  Once convicted,  Francis Staves would later be hung to death at approximately the same location that I have placed this cache on June 29th, 1838.

This cache is the sister cache of one that I have hidden at the site where the murder took place. The GC code for that one is GC6ZCGR. It is called "The Murder of John Pelton". For more information about this horrific event in our local history,  please visit www.porterhistory.org 

Due to this location being a parking lot in downtown Valparaiso,  I chose to make this cache a micro. It is magnetic,  and only has room for the log. Stealth will be needed as it can sometimes be a busy area. It can sometimes be difficult to get this little bugger out of its hiding place. Tools of the trade could definitely come in handy.
