This cache is a tribute to my Uncle who lost his life about 25 feet from where the cache is located. There used to be a gas station here.
On September the 2nd 1987 just inside the lot your looking at. 25 feet or so sat a diesel tanker. My uncle was coming down the hill in a runaway kerosene tanker. On the hill behind you. When the brakes failed. He was the passenger in the kerosene truck. Came down and thru the intersection and plowed into that tanker at the station. It was such a hit, it broke the tank of the frame and sent it 75 feet away and into the punmps. A 27 year old father of 3 lost his life at this location. He was in training with 3rd day on the job. I am placing this a remberance of him, especially since just loosing my father in August. At least Greg didnt suffer wben it happened. Terrain is rated this way because of traffic.
