If you have been checking out this blog and TheodoreMedia.com you will have noticed things are changing!  Well, I am trying to stream line the empire and turn the focus to grizzly relic and treasure.  I have combined all my blogs to this Grizzly Groundswell blog.  Trying to simplify and make it easier on me to write more original content while freeing me up to hunt more and create great videos.

Gone is the forum, chat and other blogs.  Simplicity, Simplicity, Simplicity!

Feels good and Grizzly!

Second day in a row I am rained out, but that did not stop me from research!

I stopped by one of my cherished neighbors yesterday.  Clifford Carlson and his son Gary were working out in the garage, and I stopped by to ask them about the area we live in.  Clifford had the Sunny View Dairy Farm he lives across from now.  Clifford, now in his 80′s or 90′s, welcomed my wife and me into the neighborhood when we first moved here back in 2002.  This fine Christian gentleman assisted Michelle and I clear the snow and  he even roto-tilled our garden breaking ground for our dream fulfilled garden that has fed us so well all these years.

We had a great conversation about local locations that are steeped in history and Clifford graced me with some new knowledge about my own home!  I had known that my home was moved off the wildlife refuge in the 70′s and that a man was killed moving it.  However, I assumed the wrong refuge.

It turns out Ed Zirott purchased this house I am now living in, off the property that is now apart of the Kunkel State Wildlife Refuge just north of my property. I was mistakenly thinking it came off the Federal Sherburne Wildlife Refuge.  So it was great to now finally have the exact location from where my home was moved from.  But it even gets better!

Ed and Clifford were partners in the Sunny View Dairy Farm.  The home was originally the Heilke (sp?) Brothers home.  Two bachelor farmers who were known for burying their money under fence posts. One mason jar with what was thought of about $800 was found by a neighbor by their gate long after they had departed or passed away. Clifford tells the story best he can remember it.  It seemed that the two brothers split the farm work.  One handled the money and the other the planting.  Well, like all too often happens, the brother that handled the money passed away leaving the two brothers life savings buried and unaccounted for.  One mason jar was recovered Clifford recalls, but he did not know if any other caches were found.

So, with one great conversation I now knew the location of where my home was located and moved from, and a great treasure story to research to boot!  The only bad thing is that my home is pretty much renovated throughout so hopes of finding any money caches here in this structure would be hopeless.  If there was money found in those renovations, I may never know.  I have searched the attic, upstairs and downstairs myself and no corner has been left unchecked.  So, unless I missed something, it is only a great story.

It would be a great story there, but there is also a ghost story, and an unfortunate accident story to be told about my home as well.  The ghost story is one of strange cold spots and the smell of tobacco that occasionally moves through out the house, then disappears.  A few other odd but not out of the ordinary instances of bumps in the night as well.

The unfortunate accident story is the untimely death of Ed Zirott who was lifting a live electrical wire up over the chimney when this house was being moved to its current location.  They came and fetched Clifford, and when he arrived, Ed was still on the roof, hunched over the wire and they could only watch in horror and despair until the electric company came to shut off the electricity so that they could retrieve Ed’s body.

This home has seen many families come and go, and now Michelle and I try to make it our home.  Tales of tragedy and even treasure are apart of this structures history.

Who knows what else these old walls have to tell?

Clifford asked if I could find property line markers with my metal detector.  I volunteered to assist this great man, who had helped and welcomed my wife and I to this neighborhood.  Yet, both yesterday and even yet, today, I was rained out!  So hopefully I will get a break in the weather here in the next few days so that I can return the favor and find Clifford his property stake.

Get Grizzly!
