“Jonathan Swift, a good friend, has discovered a treasure trove on his Kentucky property.  Buried in some caverns, he unearthed several chests of gold and jewelry.  Ironically, I suspect he was searching for his silver mine that he endlessly speaks about.  Several Freemasons ventured to examine the treasure and discovered that it is the lost treasure of the infamous pirate Blackbeard.  It is important to keep these treasures hidden and protected to help build a reserve for economic reasons.  Jonathan has graciously agreed to allow the Freemasons to use the caves as a temporary vault to house the Knights Templar treasure and other valuables which they protect. I believe keeping the Freemason treasures far away from the Atlantic will be beneficial in the event that we find ourselves in another war. I have asked Jonathan to create a false journal detailing the supposed location of his silver mines. Using vague landscape far from the actual caves location, hopefully we can send any treasure seekers on a wild goose chase.

Kentucky legends say that the silver mines were never found. I wonder if they were real or just fabricated to protect this cave?
