Cowboy was riding hard across a large expanse of purple sage when  a huge bull looking for a fight bolted from an arroyo.  Cowboy was trying to make Cortez and decided to try to stay his course rather than turn and run.  It was a big mistake as the 2000 lb. bull hit Cowboys horse throwing Cowboy into the air.  Cowboy landed with a thud and he could barely crawl up on his horse and make it to town.  He spent three days in bed with 4 broken ribs.
This is a camo micro cache with log.  It is somewhat difficult to spot.  Bring your own pen/pencil to sign the log.  Mugglers should not be an issue.

Magnus McPhee thank you for placing.

May your GPS be true, your eyes sharp, and your geocaching-sense kick in when needed. Approve

Rock hounds are the original geocachers and unlike the Egyptians we don't intentionally curse or booby-trap our hides. Cool

Thanks for another fun cache in this large long running series. Spent some time in Cortez while on a family vacation. We explored Mesa Verde, Hovenweep, and Canyons of the Ancients. Enjoyed lots of learning experiences for the kids. Grabbed a few caches while in town and this was one of them. Honestly... How could we pass this one up!? Ha ha ha! Stopped to snap a picture and what do you know!? A cache is here too! Thanks for placing this one for all to enjoy!
