Little Blanco River Southern Blanco County Outlaw Cache — Blanco County

Lost Treasure TX • Blanco County County
Description
Southern Blanco County legend of outlaw loot buried along the Little Blanco River — the remote Hill Country drainage between Twin Sisters and the Kendall County line.
Historical Notes
The southern third of Blanco County drains into the Guadalupe River through the Blanco and Little Blanco rivers. Twin Sisters and Joel Cherry's 1854 homestead anchored Anglo settlement on the Little Blanco while Comanche bands still ranged the Edwards Plateau breaks. Post–Civil War outlaw lore places bandit caches in limestone creek bottoms along the US 281 corridor south of Blanco. Related entry: "Blanco River Blanco State Park Cotton Specie" documents separate merchant folklore on the main Blanco River near the state park. Coordinates approximate the Little Blanco River valley south of Twin Sisters in southern Blanco County. Respect private ranch land.
