The Rifle Pitts

[j2digger]

During the Red River War, a regiment got stranded in what is now known as Ochiltree County in the Texas panhandle. A blizzard stranded the troops and Buffalo Bill Cody along the Palo Duroc Creek. The commander cached a supply of rifles and other supplies. As they were running low on provisions, Scout Bill Cody hunted for days for meat to feed the troops. Just as they were down to their last crumbs, he finally came across a large herd of buffalo and killed enough to save the troops. When the weather finally permitted, they left the area and cache intending on returning later to retrieve. As what happens usually, they never returned.
I have examined satellite and aerial imagery of the area. All the prime looking locales are privately owned.

I found Ochiltree county, and a creek called Palo Duro near Guymon, OK running south into Ochiltree. Is it along this waterway you are referring?

Yes. As far as anyone knows, the cache has never been recovered.
