Cowboy had been to the Silverton mines and had packed his horse and two mules with high grade ore.  He took his pack string up the canyon west of Durango to the local assay office.  Upon arriving Cowboy knew he had a good load of prime silver- in-quartz matrix ore that could bring some real cash to hold him over for the winter.  He was pleased to get over $300 in silver dollars for the load.  He even traded some of the ore for a pretty turquoise necklace for his girlfiend.
The cache is a large camo container loaded with SWAG and a log for kids or adults.  There is a trackable for whomever will move it on.  There is plenty or room for dropping large trackables and it is a good location to get activity to move them on.

Out caching with (piker) as we are traveling west and south thru CO and the 4 corners headed to Flagstaff, AZ. We are trying to find caches in each of the counties we traverse along with challenges and virtual caches. We were quite successful. This was one of the ones we found.

Thank you very much for the cache.
