Box replanted yet again 7/21/2007. This box keeps going missing so I have changed its location a bit. Please be stealthy and rehide well with leaves so box is not visible from above. Logbook is tiny so stamp in as well as you can!

Background: Most states have an official State Bird, State Flower, etc. Well, New Mexico has an Official State Question - "Red or Green?" - and it refers to what kind of chile you would like served with your New Mexican food. You will usually be asked this question when dining in a restaurant specializing in New Mexican cuisine. Red and green chile are very different and you cannot always count on one being the hotter of the two, it depends on the batch of chile, so it's always good to ask. If you can't make up your mind, or like both, you can always ask for "Christmas," which means you want both!

Directions: From the intersection of E. Alameda and Paseo de Peralta in downtown Santa Fe:

Find the 7 wooden guardians of your chosen path. Continue down the path to the large fish out of water. Go a bit further down the path and look for the sign at the bridge about the siblings. Camo microbox is hidden behind post that sign is on, in between fence post and bridge post, covered with leaves. After stamping in on nearby table or bench across the bridge, please rehide well with leaves so that box is not visible from above.
