One morning after he has been incarcerated for nearly twenty-seven years, Andy literally disappears from his locked cell. After searching the prison grounds and surrounding area without finding any sign of an escaped man, the warden looks in Andy's cell and discovers that the poster on his wall covers a man-sized hole.
Andy had used his rock hammer — and a replacement when the original wore down — not just to shape rocks, but to dig a hole, incredibly painstakingly and over twenty years, through the wall. Once through the wall, he broke into a sewage pipe by synchronizing his strikes with lightning, before crawling through it for some 500 yards, emerged into a field beyond prison's outer perimeter and vanished. His rock-hammer and prison uniform are found outside the pipe.
**After placing this cache, I continued the loop around the trail. Once home, I discovered over 30 chigger bites in one of the most "uncomfortable" places. I even sprayed and used my anti-chigger routine! You have been warned!
