This is a revival of a previous cache which I had adopted from Booger. It was archived because the cache kept being muggled. I wanted to relocate it and make it more secure.

In the meantime I discovered the statue of Wallace Riddell just off the square and I met some of the Sherrif’s descendents. I read a bio (which was hard to find) and was greatly impressed!
Wallace Riddell served as Burnet County Sheriff longer than any other county sheriff in Texas. I’m wondering if maybe it was longer than any sheriff anywhere? He ranched, and also won rodeo championships for roping. The really remarkable thing about him is that he didn’t carry a gun! Yep. After a bad incident with a gun in his first year as sheriff, he vowed never to go armed. But he did have deputies to do that, if the need arose.
Visit the statue and marker a few blocks from here at N 30°45'27.99" W 098°13'34.95".
