Cache is not at the published
coordinates. But they make a good place to
park.
Dale Evans was hanging around their ranch
while Roy Rogers went into town to get a new pair of cowboy boots
for working around the horses. When he returned he promptly went
into the barn wearing his new boots and they got all dirty with the
type of mess commonly found in horse stalls.
Dale called him into the house to enjoy the
fine meal she had spent all day cooking. When Roy showed up she made him
take off his new boots and leave them on the porch. After supper he forgot about his
boots and left them out over night.
The next morning he woke up, ate breakfast,
and went out onto the porch to put on his boots. To his dismay, they were
missing. Eventually he
found them, chewed by an animal. Looking around, Roy saw some
mountain lion or “Cat” tracks and he knew what had
gotten his boots.
Roy returned to the house, retrieved his
rifle, and went to the barn where he saddled up
Trigger. Soon he was
on the way to find the mountain lion.
As the day wore on Dale became concerned about
what was taking Roy so long. Finally, just before sunset, she
spotted Roy and Trigger returning. Seeing the dead mountain lion
slung across Trigger she broke out into song, singing:
"Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that chewed
your new shoes?"
