This is 1 of 4 in my Four Golden Horseshoes Series....Hope you enjoy! The co-ords above are NOT correct.

UUUU UUUU UUUU UUUU UUUU UUUU UUUU

In the mists of time, there once was a magical horse named Dream Dancer. He was a wise and powerful being who ruled all the horse clans in peace and harmony. He was a magnificent creature. Rippling muscles were clothed with a shiny,velvet, ebony colored coat of hair that shimmered even in the moonlight. His mane and tail were like waterfalls of silver, and his eyes were like deep pools of sapphires. His hooves were shod with four golden horseshoes that were encrusted with rare and precious jewels. They were said to have magical powers of their own, though only Dream Dancer ever knew whether they did or not.

There came a time when men came to know of the legendary horse, and his golden horseshoes and pursued Dream Dancer relentlessly. Knowing that he would never have peace as long as he wore his horseshoes, he formulated a plan. Calling two of his sons and two of his daughters to his side, he gave each one a horseshoe and charged them with hiding them, telling no one of their locations, the only clues being in the hoofbeat code.

Long forgotten, and lost in the ripples of time, the hoofbeat code has no complete translation known to man. However...parts of the code were saved and given to 3 guardians.It has been said that only the truly adventurous and pure of heart have even a chance of finding even one of the guardians, let alone the horseshoes. Many, Many have sought the clues, in the hopes of obtaining power and riches, but all have failed.

First, you must find the guardians of the hoofbeat code. They are hiding in three different caches, and won`t be easy to find...but I`ll give you a clue for each of the three...

#1...One of the guardians is a twiddler resting in a B&B...
#2...One of the guardians will put spots in your eyes...
#3...One of the guardians is a part of a wild west adventure story..

Misty Skye was the most spirited of all of Dream Dancer`s children...and he had alot! With her dappled smoke and fog colored fur, this filly was quite the picture with her violet colored eyes and tail and mane of opalescent hues. She loved nothing more than high, lofty places where she could take in the view. To get to one of her Views, You should take Dinosaur flats Road, off of Red Canyon Road, and follow it up and up and up to the very end...the co-ords above are for parking if you don`t have a high clearance vehicle I do it in my AWD Saturn Vue just fine, but it is definately not for all vehicles. If you park, you can either bush whack up the hill, or follow the road up, and then follow the ridge...or do a loop...I love loops, but then, I also love...oh never mind...this is`nt about me....

Long walk. But a beautiful view.

Our driver for some reason felt the need to park after the range and refused to go any farther. No idea why, these roads are doable in a car and we had an SUV! Oh well, we have feet. Grabbed our stuff and made the hike to GZ. The nearby overlook has some great views and so does GZ. Found the nicely hidden cache and spent awhile just enjoying the spot and taking some photos. Thanks for another awesome spot.

Very nice hide and container!

Hartsdale and I headed down to Canon City today collecting some of our solved puzzles in the area and this was our first stop. We parked in the suggested parking spot and made the short hike up to the top of the ridge. Nice view. Thanks for the puzzle!
