From within the town of Chama, drive north on State Highway 17. This is the main road that goes by the historic train station. Turn left on 1st St. Turn right on Pine Ave. Drive into the Sargent Wildlife Viewing Area. Turn right into the campground and park there.

From the eastern brown restroom, walk at about 128 degrees (from north) for 80 steps to a point on the flat dirt road just where it starts to go up on the curved dirt berm. From that point, go at about 170 degrees for about 90 steps to a moderate size Pine Tree with a small Pine Tree a couple of inches on its right and a cluster of small Oak Trees on its left. The box is between two small Oak Trees a couple of feet to the east of the Pine Tree under plant debris and a small dead branch. Be alert for snakes.

Please be sure the contents of the box are double bagged when you rehide it. Please rehide the box well under plant debris and branches so that it can not be seen from any direction.

I will not be able to check on this box; so, please let me know if you find it, or if it is missing so that I can delete the clues: http://home.att.net/~azroadie/letterboxing.html
