Geocache Description:

There is parking right next to the cache as the ditch is off to the side a few feet. The road can be busy at times so please keep an eye on the little ones. A winter find will be a lot harder.

Warren Columbus was a politician of the lowest sort back in the late 20's to early 30's. He was the sort of man who brought corruption and graft to just short of an art style. He bought his election by promising to bring an end to hunger and joblessness in the local community. What he did not tell anyone was that the only jobs that would be created were in the fields of Rum Running and Still Operations with a few Protection rackets tossed in just for some color. One of his biggest campaign contributors until his untimely demise was Jacob Ostergard the famous Bootlegger (see GC27NTX Jacob Ostergard). After the end of prohibition the people that were once his constituents and who were led by the Reverend Eli Lake a former associate of Ostergard's ran Columbus out of town and right into the welcoming arms of Eliot Ness the famous G-Man. Columbus died five years into his prison sentence from not one but three different venereal diseases.

I was originally going to hide this cache near the home where Mr. Columbus lived while he was a community “leader” but the current owners would like a little separation between themselves and their “relative” so I picked another likely spot instead. The signs where this cache is located have no historical significance to Mr. Columbus other then to show a possible lack of creativity on the part of his parents.
