Cowboy was on his way home from Farmington.  He had come a long way and still had pert near 10 miles of rough country to cross.  To make matters worse if Cowboy took the direct route home, he had to cross the territory controlled by the Ian Holiday gang.  Holiday was a shifty one-eyed outlaw who was as hard as nails.  They say Holiday lost his eye in a knife fight in a Dolores saloon over a woman, but most likely Holiday took on some trapper and lost.

---

The gang consisted of 3 or 4 Holiday brothers who were nearly as mean as Ian and would shoot at a rider just for sport.  Just then a rabbit jumped out from under a patch of sagebrush.  Cowboy drew his 1860 Army 44 revolver and nailed the rabbit on the run at thirty yards.  The revolver was old and had belonged to Cowboy's grandpa which was fitting way to get some fresh meat for dinner.  Cowboy decided he would camp here for the night and dine on roast rabbit and some rice and beans he carried in his saddlebags.  He would take the long route home avoiding the Holidays. 

The container is a micro 2"camo bottle with log.  Winter is coming and come spring the container will be replaced with an ammo box with some SWAG for the kids.

Thanks! Hortcacher and I worked on this one awhile. Finally, my brain acknowledged what my eyes were looking at.

This one took some searching for us. OKLS finally spotted it and called me over to provide a hint. We are staying in an RV park near Mesa Verde for a few days and hope to log some more Cowboy caches while we are here. TFTC!

Too much trash to even start to look for this one.

We like Cowboy's Stories, but we were not able to find his Box here - too bad

My parents came to Colorado to visit. Each time they come we find another National park to visit. My mom wants to see as many as possible in her life. This road trip will be Mesa Verde, Chimney Rock and maybe the Sand Dunes also. I'm still working on the hidden creatures challenge so we stopped for a few caches along the way. Sl, thanks!
