This box is located near North Clifton Park. From southern Arizona: from I-10 east of Willcox, go north on U.S. 191 to Safford. From central Arizona: go east on U. S. 60, then east on U.S. 70, to Safford. From Safford, go northeast on U.S. 191 to Clifton. After entering the town and passing the old train station/tourist information center, go a short distance more and turn right on Zorilla St. Go ½ block and turn left on Frisco Ave. Go past the North Clifton Park and Campground and continue over the bridge over the San Francisco River. After crossing over the bridge, continue for about 0.1 mile. Look for a red fire hydrant on the left side of the road and a yellow "No Dumping" sign just beyond it also on the left. Park between them.
Walk up (northwest) the road past a rock wall on the right side of the road. Continue a short distance more and you will see on the right side of the road a lower rock wall perpendicular to the road and extending to the base of the cliff. Walk along the left (outside) of the wall towards the cliff to a medium size broad-spreading deciduous tree (Hornbeam?). Just beyond it against the cliff is a small Palm Tree. Make your way under the medium size broad-spreading deciduous tree. The box is between the trunk of the tree and the wall under a flat rock covered with some plant debris.
Please be sure the contents are double ziplocked when you put them back in the box (i.e. the stamp is in a ziploc, the book is in a ziploc, and the two ziplocs are in the larger ziploc bag). Please rehide the box well under the rock covered with some plant debris so that it can not be seen from any direction.
I will not be able to check on this box very often; so, please let me know if you find it, or if it needs attention or is missing: http://home.att.net/~azroadie/letterboxing.html
Please record your find at www.letterboxing.org/ or at www.atlasquest.com/ .
