Grandpa died a few years ago. Grandma is in the Memory care unit at Keystone. While cleaning their house to get it ready for the market, we came across Grandpa's rock tumbler and 3 check boxes, and a Red Owl food cantainer full of polished rocks. I remember watching Grandpa using the tumbler and changing out the polishing compound. My sister and I would look at all the different colors and sizes. We would spend hours with him looking at the smooth and shiny stones. Now, I want to share them with you.

Cache is an Altoids tin filled with Grandpa's Polished rocks. Please limit the number you take to 1 or 2 per person in your party. These rocks take a month of tumbling to get this smooth.

just wondering if the cache is on private property? It looked like the cache was in someones shed from the gps i was using. There was a big cream colored house and shed on the lot coming around the corner. Next to a snowmobile trail and an old fence with a no hunting sign.. I dont want to get a no tresspassing charge for some stones.. thanks for the help
