Checked 12 June 2005, intact and complete, though only two finders.
This Letterbox is miles from even the nearest small town, but only a few hundred feet from the parking area adjacent to the highway.
Although this is a public area, “open to the public” here includes the occasional rattlesnake or large centipede (this is the “great outdoors, eh?). Small children should remain at the car, competently supervised, as there is a highway nearby. Although vegetation is not generally heavy, scratchy plant-things abound, so I don’t recommend shorts. The soil (such as it is) is crumbly and friable, so try and keep to the path as much as possible, and protect the eco-system. When recovering the Letterbox, use sticks to dislodge the tiny rock-cairn.
SO HERE GOES... Take time to visit the museum at the old soddy. When you leave, turn left and drive about six miles until you come to a stop sign at the intersection of the highways. Turn right, and continue across the river that has the same name as one of the Cadillac car models of the 1980s. Continue on this highway until you come to the elevator. Don’t take the elevator “up”, but go "sideways", Willy Wonka Wonkavator West, staying on the main highway until you see a suitable place for a picnic—it will be obvious! (And roughly 10 kilometers west of the elevator).
Park your car in the small parking lot by the roadside. There are several signs giving information about the area, and some informative brochures and pamphlets. From the nearby trash barrels, use your compass (whether conventional or eyeball) and sight about 320 degrees magnetic to some large white rocks on the north side of the fence, roughly 200 feet away.
Walk through the vehicle gate, or cattle gate to the rocks. The Letterbox is beneath the overhanging west side of a large rock about five feet tall. Don’t go to the western-most rock which is a few feet lower, and in a gully. The Letterbox is not easily visible to casual passers-by, but the tiny mound of rocks which mostly covers it is easily recognizable as being placed.
Thanks for looking! This is my first Letterbox placed, so I particularly welcome feedback. I plan to concentrate on mystery boxes of varying difficulty, particularly in the "clue" aspect, and may include a take-home card with a bit of cultural / geographic / historical / geologic information cards at each site (not yet at this one).
Stamps will be hand-carved (obvious here) or of original design.
