“You have to help me,” he claims. You asked him how does he know all this and he said “don’t ask!” Then he told you “Please be careful. Remember, be as stealthy as you can. Often look over your shoulder to make sure you are not being followed. Double back to loose anyone on your trail.”

The cache is in the Norris Woods. I think it closes at dark. I have seen the gate closed at night.
A main trail can get you within 100 feet of the cache. The trails have signs that say no dogs. Sorry. Otherwise I think these trails are very nice. I saw a deer here the day I hid the cache.

3 hot wheels.
1 G.I. helicopter.
Logbook & pencil.

First gravestone: N 41 55.779 W 088 18.651

Log entry – Late August. 3am. Insomnia. The dog days of summer were taking their toll. I was eating at The Dinner when a strange thing happened. I bit into my burger and a piece of paper slid out: cemetery midnight tomorrow. 21 hours from now. I took a quick look over the counter and into the kitchen. The cook made a very subtle nod and then went out of my view.

Log entry – The next day. 11:53am. I waited at the cemetery for 20 minutes when the limo arrived. A voice from inside told me to get in. I knew that voice. I got in and the limo drove away to a near by but secluded parking lot. I knew then I was in trouble. He wanted something I couldn’t give him. He wanted something I only knew part of where it might be. These answers were not satisfying. I was taken out of the car for further ‘questioning’.
Bruised and battered I knew I had to get out of there. When I had a chance I scrambled to my feet and took off at top speed in to the woods. Spider webs were everywhere but I didn’t care. I ran and ran. The noises behind me grew ever more faint. When I couldn’t run any more I stopped and took my shoe off. Fortunately, they didn’t look in my shoe. I hid the only puzzle piece I had out there in the woods. I hope I can find it again.
