This cache is located by Olney Springs, Colorado. Not a lot around this area but we sure can make it a nice spot for geocachers. This is one of many planned caches to hopefully get a nice power trail going in the area.
As always, with this type of desert terrain, be watchful and cautious for things that poke, sting and bite. And remember, a good cacher always practices CITO if needed! Thanks for visiting our neck of the woods and happy caching!
Bowler Hat - also known as a bob hat, derby (US), billycock or bombin, is a hard felt hat with a rounded crown originally created in 1849 for the British soldier and politician Edward Coke. The bowler, not the cowboy hat or sombrero, was the most popular hat in the American West, prompting it to be called "the hat that won the West". Both cowboys and railroad workers preferred the hat because it would not blow off easily in strong wind, or when sticking one's head out the window of a speeding train. It was worn by both lawmen and outlaws, including Bat Masterson, Butch Cassidy, Black Bart, and Billy the Kid. It is in America the hat came to be commonly known as the derby.
