Description as written by Squonkpups for the cache ROBINSON
FAMILY BURIAL GROUND (GCJEYV)
Alexander Robinson, a Native American Chief of mixed blood,
who's Native American name was Che Che Pin Quay (blink of an eye)
was half Native American and half Anglo. He married Catherine
Chevalier, also of mixed blood. The whole reserve was given to the
Robinson's out of gratitude because he had done so much to mend the
ways of the early settlers and the Native Americans in the early
days of Chicago.
Many parapsychologists have visited the site because of the
phenomena such as the sound of tom-toms that they reportedly have
heard there.
People have also reported seeing what they have described as
Native American faces in the trees there and have smelled the scent
of Lilacs near the boulder that marks the graves. The sounds and
scents always come from the left side of the marker.
In 1955 three boys, two of whom were brothers aged 11 and 13 and
a friend aged 14 were found murdered and naked near the site. The
boys went downtown to see a movie and met another boy their age on
the fatal night of their death who, coincidentally, would, 23 years
later become infamous in his own right. His name was John Gacy who,
as an adult would wind up living very close to this grave site.

Since this is an easy cache the challenge is in finding the
coordinates for the logbook which are located at the site.
Sit on the left bench and offer five minutes of silence for the
horrible crimes that happened here and meditate and meld with the
spirits. Listen for tom-toms and sniff for the scent of Lilac.
This is a high traffic area so beware of muggles especially when
looking for the final and rehide it well and keep it's location
looking natural as people have been known to spend the night here
waiting for a paranormal experience. There is a very small
semi-circle parking area for three or four cars at the site on East
River Road if approached going South.

Description as written by cachew nut for the cache BLINKING EYE
(GC16WDZ)
Che-Che-Pin-Qua translates to "blinking eye". Some say these
woods are haunted and that you are always being watched.
The signage and area have been redone as part of an Eagle Scout
project. Take the time to read the interesting history about the
area.

Enjoy!
