Need help in Durango, CO
 

I will be returning from a Wyoming pronghorn hunt through Durango, CO. I will stop to backpack/scout for elk near the Missionary Ridge area NE of Durango. I plan to park my vehicle at the terminus of a 4 wheel drive road and strike out on foot onto the trails.

My problem: what do I do with my rifles? I'm concerned that if I leave my rifles in my truck they will be stolen. I will be coming out of the woods Saturday afternoon, October 23.

Any suggestions? I have thought about finding a gun smith or a gun range and asking them to store the guns for me. I have thought about trying to find a trustworthy individual to store the guns for me. The thought only occured to me last night, and I'm leaving Friday afternoon to drive to Gillette, so I don't have much time to resolve this problem. The worst case solution, I suppose, is to rent a hotel room for my rifles with instructions to the keeper of the Inn that this is what I'm doing and to keep hands off. I'm not sure this is a good plan, either.

personally if i were you i would go with your first thought & find a gun smith or some other company that you can leave your guns with. that way you can get something in writing from them saying they are holding your guns for safe keeping.
