SL #2660. The next find in a series of several over our 3800+ mile vacation.

B and CM&TG headed out, then up, up, up. Always on the lookout for rattlers, we found none. We almost didn't find the prize. Zigging here and zagging there, we couldn't find it. We were working our way back out when B spotted the prize, about 30' from GZ. He doffed his brand new derby & hung it on a juniper branch so he would get down & check for rattlers before retrieving the prize.

We examined the contents, then signed & restored the container. Then... you guessed, it, we walked off & forgot the derby. D'oh!

Thanks for the placement and for bringing us here!
