CO-V-1 STAMP TEXT:

This stamp is available at the Elk Creek Visitor Center and since I was running low on time when I got it, I didn't have a chance to check the Lake Fork Information Station (CO-V-2) for another slightly different stamp for this NRA. There are loads of pica outside this VC near the parking lot. There sound is very distinctive. Note: This same stamp is also available at the Cimarron Visitor Center which is only open in the summer. The wording is exactly the same.

CO-V-2 STAMP TEXT:

This stamp is available at the Lake Fork Information Center according to Daniel Cohen who visited in September of 1999. It is possible this stamp may no longer exist with this format and the one for CO-IV-1 is the new format since the stamp looks updated. (See Daniel Cohen's site here: http://www.danielcohen.org/100days/parks/parks.htm)
