Just recently my grandfather died and so my father and I went out
to Middleburg to clean out his house and get it prepped for sale.
While digging through his things I found a box with some odd maps,
drawings and a few letters. I asked my father about it and he told
me the story........
When your grandfather was a young doctor there was a woman
named Mildred who lived on the streets and one day she was gravely
ill. Your grandfather brought her in and tried to bring her back to
life. During that time she mumbled things about EP0RS IZPAD which
of course is just jibberish and that coupled with one of her
drawings would get you to her plum. Her plum of course was some
treasure but that is what she called it. After she passed your
grandfather spent a long time searching for it in these mountains
but was never so lucky. In fact all those hikes he took you on were
most likely an excuse to keep looking.
So after hearing the whole story I decide this sounds like fun and
decide to keep it. My father however was not amused but when is he
anyway, guess Mildred had her plum and my dad got a prune. So that
night I pull out the maps and writings and do my best to make some
sense of it......
