Geocache Description:

Cowboy was down on his luck and he needed a job. He finished the fall roundup taking cattle down from the San Juan Mountains to lower winter pasture. Then Cowboy remembered he heard of a job with the Pony Express who had a Dolores Office not far away. He headed over to see if he could get on the payroll as he was a good rider and did not mind covering some ground quickly on a good horse.

When Cowboy arrived at the Express he was met by the station manager, Jonas Rivers. Cowboy spoke up asking Mr. Rivers if he had a job available as an express rider. Jonas said "If you had come in an hour ago I could have hired you. I just gave the last available rider job to Bronco". Just then Bronco appeared in the door with a smile a mile wide and suggested "Hey Cowboy, I hear tell Jonas has a job available as stock wrangler. I know you are always pretty good at tossing the bull!"

You may need tweezers or similar tool to extract the log. The log is waterproof paper.
