So in the Fall of 1893 the McCartys leave the Robbers Roust on the Western side of the Uncompahgre Plateau above Nucla and head over the top to Delta, Colorado but soon things went North in a bad way. Upon arriving at the Farmers Bank in Delta Tom wisely opted to hold the getaway Horses as Bill and the inexperienced, know it all, brat Fred head into the Bank. Tom heard shots and the men came running out with Bill yelling ” lets go, Fred shot the Teller”.

As the 3 men fled the scene 2 more shots rang out from a high powered Sharps Sniper Rifle belonging to Cash Simpson, the local Hardware Store owner. 2 shots equaled 2 deaths, Tom being the lone survivoir, ran the wind out of his Blonde Horse Suzy but made it to were they had there extra mounts and was able to out pace the Posse that was in hot pursuit. A short time later Tom made it into Moab, Utah and was hidden by some friends. He found out the Law was closing in on him so he hoped on the Train for Oregan or the likes, were legend has it he found true love, and a living raising Blonde Horses, never to return and never to recover the hidden Cache in the Robbers Roust.

There have been a number of searcher’s but as of this time there have been no reports of this cache ever being found . So let the searching begin.
