like a bad penny, he keeps coming back....

(and I'd keep this bad penny any day!) anyways...just discovered Valles Mines Missouri in a ghost hunt group...an early mining town past St Louis....and then I find THIS! Exhibit: The Paymaster's Shack, a small building with a big history. Jesse James blew the safe once. His hideout cave lies a few miles due East.

Jesse James - The Legend At the end of a pay period miners came here to be paid out by the Paymaster after settling their outstanding debts with the Company for their housing, staples, and equipment such as pick axes and later dynamite during the era when Valles Mines was called "Boom Town". The Paymaster's office held a safe, a safe periodically robbed by highwaymen. On one occasion, however, the safe was even blown open with dynamite. No doubt that was one reason Superintendent "Two Pistol Pete" Frazier carried those guns - to keep law and order down in the valley on Pay Day. Legend has it that one of the robbers had been Jesse James, whose hideout in a cave in the area across the now Highway 67 is common knowledge. Possibly the same cave hid Sam Hildebrand, whose band of Confederates shot it out with Federal troops at the first General Store, a log building from long before the Civil War.

Legend has it that one of the robbers had been Jesse James, whose hideout in a cave in the area across the now Highway 67 is common knowledge. Now a State Park with camping and accessable.

all I can find on google is the Robbers Cave park in Oklahoma....and that is 7 hours and 19 minutes away. hmmm. can't figure out what park they are talking about. wonder if this guy ever got this 2010 tour going???? I guess you'd just find this highway and look for a cave? or hope to bump into a local who could give you directions?

Cement is a small town a little south of Chickasha and it has a story to tell. It’s believed that there is still lost treasure hidden by Frank and Jesse James somewhere around the town. Pictured above is the museum which tells all about the story. The last time I was there, the police chief said you would have to go to the Post Office to ask for the key to get in the Museum. If you get there and no one is around, try that. Here is a link to an article about Jesse James and the lost treasure. http://ndepth.newsok.com/treasurehunters
