Easy png. This place had the best bbq before the couple retired from the business! Even the bears would travel miles for a taste.
I crave caching and bbq! You use to be able to satisfy both with one stop. Placed with owner's permission. Please by gentle.

The wifey (dfay1165) and I came up here with friends from Florida for a little sightseeing. They headed back to the condos and we spent some time at my favorite mountain pass in the world. I've actually driven past this cache a dozen times without stopping. Today was the day I finally decided to find this one. As I am looking at the log to sign it, I noticed that one of my geo buddies from Florida was actually here 6 days ago. So I snapped a picture and sent it to him for a good laugh and I am posting it here for posterity sake. Thanks for creating and maintaining this cache.

I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of increasing my word count average. It seems that there are caching statistical challenges that look at the word count averages in our “Found It” logs.

And now for today's trivia ...

NATIONAL JERKY DAY
National Jerky Day is observed annually on June 12th. National Jerky Day was created to celebrate the rich history, immense popularity and nutritional benefits of dried meat snacks.

“In many ways, jerky is an ideal snack. Naturally packed with protein, jerky will keep you satiated between meals; but since it’s low in fat, calories and carbs, it won’t sabotage a healthy diet,” said Jeff LeFever, director of marketing for Jack Link’s® Beef Jerky, the No. 1 U.S. meat snack brand.

This nutrient-dense meat has been made lightweight by drying. A pound of meat or poultry will weigh only about four ounces once it is made into jerky, and it can be stored for months without refrigeration because most of the moisture has been removed. Salt is added to the meat before it is dried, to prevent bacteria from developing.

“Jerky” is a word derived from the Spanish word charqui, which came from the Quechua (a Native South American language) word ch’arki, which means to burn (meat).

Traditional jerky is readily available in nearly every convenience store, gas station, supermarket, and variety shop in the United States.

Due to its light weight and high level of nutrition, since 1996, jerky has been selected by astronauts as space food several times for space flights.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL JERKY DAY

Snack on your favorite jerky. If you make your own, give a shout out. The process is satisfying and the results often bring friends and family clamoring for more.

HISTORY OF NATIONAL JERKY DAY

National Jerky Day was created by Jack Link’s Beef Jerky in 2012.

I’m on a trek to find caches in the rest of the Colorado counties, in a clockwise direction. Expecting it to take about 5 days, before I start my journey back to Florida. County #33 Archuleta. Coords were right on but my preconceived motion messed me up. Good hide. BBQ would be a good thing right mow All is well here. TFTC SL

Traveling throught the area today, generally heading a NW direction - But with lots of detours and diversions. That's what caching is all about after all! It was a beautiful day for it and I had a great time! I would have loved some good BBQ today. Thanks for the fun!

Good bye Pagosa! We found this on our way out of town after a nice week. Sorry to say the line broke as we replaced the cache so owner probably needs to fix it. Hubby was putting it back and I heard "Oops". Sorry.
