Cowboy was in Mancos when he and his close friend Brent were having a drink in the Columbine Bar. Brent spoke up and said, "Cowboy, do you want to try roller skating?" Cowboy blew out a mouthful of beer and said "What??? What in tarnation is roller skating?" Brent said he had just seen some in the Sears and Roebuck catalog and ordered some. He used them a few times. I got them in my saddle bags. They are like shoes but you can move on them like ice skating but you have to skate on hard ground. Cowboy agreed to try. He and Brent went to a location that was flat with hard packed soil. Cowboy put on the skates and started to make a few strides and promptly fell back on his keester. He tried again and then leaned forward and landed on his face. Spitting out some dirt Cowboy said, "Are you sure these work?" "They sure do" Brent assured him. "Let's try this. I throw you a rope and pull you with my horse". Cowboy grabbed the rope and Brent took off on his horse with Cowboy in tow. Going faster and faster Cowboy took off his hat and yelled "Yee-haw this is fun". It was then that Brent ran out of space and turned his horse sharply to the left, but Cowboy did not make the turn going straight into a large group of sagebrush. Crawling out all cut up with scratches and a ripped shirt, he said, "I don't think this roller skating stuff is for me."

The container was jarred loose from its location and will be replaced with new coordinates.

WOOHOO FTF ... found container first ... definately NOT weather proof. Sent note to CO that it needs maintenance. Then during further searching, came up with the log. Gets a favorite anyway for the attempt and the story. Thanks Mick M. for the fun.

(Don't bother searching for it until CO gets it fixed.)
