A buddy called me about a very sad thing that happened. One I told him how to prevent, but he didn't take my advice.
He called here and said someone had found one of his stashes of stuff. Dug it up and took the contents. He said it was before this last snow that hit here a couple of days ago. He barely noticed the hole. He drives by everyday to work.
No, that isn't the sad part. In every stash of stuff he has maps of other ones. Not all of his stashes but if you went and kept digging them up, you'd eventually get all. Yes, he did that. He is now got another stash buddy to go look at the other sites tomorrow. I am laid up and can't go, even to just ride, seems ladders will fall if not positioned right, and if I overextend my balance. Well I am not a kid anymore, I couldn't just get it up and shake it off. Ha,ha.
He got over 55 sites with stuff ranging from the size of three five gallon buckets stacked and buried-15 to 18 to a site, 55 gallon drums, 1-300 gallon poly tank. I helped on a good amount of these burials. It took us over 11 years to do this with time and money for contents when we could. It covers a area of probably 60 miles by 100 miles in area.
There is everything and I mean everything you might need in them as a whole. Now for the really sad note. We also had a summer that we took a several loads of cement bags up to a site on one of his relatives land surrounded by National Forest lands, and built a house in a canyon that just needed us to cover the side of a granite overhang. When we were done we had a two room "house" with over 950 square feet total.Doors, oven/fireplace,windows. It was by (100 yards away) a year round creek that was over 6 feet across and 2 to 6 feet deep. And defendable. With a way to high ground to cover the canyon tops and all of the bottoms. We also buried 3-300 gallon polytanks there with real good stuff. He's did a real good job on the maps with GPS coordinates included. This is well concealed but, if you know it's there you can find it.
At the very least these stashes have to be reburied. But up here eveythings covered with snow and frozen now. But when it starts thawing and roads are passable, it will be a race for sure. And I will be able to help then.
Now I also have stashes, some in and around the areas of his, and I do have maps with them, but I have a system and markers to tell me where the maps are buried from the stashes. I feared something exactly like this.
