Once you have gathered your historical information at the first coordinates saddle up and mosey on out of town using the listed coordinates below following the Old Riverside Road above the cemetery. Frank’s gravesite is located about 500 yards outside of the southern part of the Riverside Cemetery on top of a lone hill. The local townspeople did not want him sleeping in their Riverside Cemetery while rubbing elbows with their righteous kin.

Once you have arrived at the gravesite look for the clue that indicates where Frank’s luck had run out. The treasure cache will be located at a high noon position just below the surface where the hoof hangs.

The restless ghost of gun-toting Frank Watkins is said to have haunted Riverside and the Riverside Cemetery for the last 100 years, because the town folks would not let him be buried in their cemetery.
