This series was planted in the late fall of 2006 by Big Boy. Big Boy, then a local high school student, was a Graphic Novel Fan. Naruto was one of his favorite Graphic Novel. He carved 6 stamps that show the different villages included in this series.

Big Boy's original clues are preserved below for posterity.
***NOTE*** These clues WILL NOT lead you to either the new Naruto village stamps, or the original OLD Apple. Click the link above for The Old Apple, or click this link to go to the Hidden Ninja Villages.


BIG BOY'S ORIGINAL CLUES:
The Naruto stamps can be found through out Marine Park located in Vancouver, Washington. Off of SR-14, turn East on Columbia Way. Marine Park is 1 mile down Columbia on the south side of the street. Turn Right at Marine Drive and park in the west parking lot. This seven box adventure will take you on a loop finishing back close to the starting point.

STAMP 1 - Village Hidden in the Waterfall
Locate where the water falls out side the rest room. Go to the other side of the rest room where the cement block lay. Facing the lamppost look to the left, past the walkway to where you see a fallen tree in the Ivy. Look for the Flat Rock in the ivy cover behind this fallen tree. Look under the flat rock there is the letterbox.

STAMP 2 - Village Hidden in the Rain
From the waterfall letterbox face NORTH. See two picnic tables next to the parking lot where you parked. Go there. Stand at the tree that is between them, face northwest take 28 steps. Do you see a tree trunk? Look for the letterbox under the rocks by the stump? You may need to dig a bit. There you will find the letterbox.

STAMP 3 - Village Hidden in the Sound
Go back to the picnic tables. Face east and go to the blue covered overhead picnic area. You will see a nice play ground for the kids to play on. Find the south sidewalk. Locate the gift from DR. Hama: Kyoto. See the group of 5 to the left. The "sound" is under the flat rock where the 5 join.

STAMP 4 - Village hidden in the Grass
Continue EAST on the south walkway. Pass 3 light poles. Take the dirt path to the right. Over the big hill and down. Find the big rocks on the left and stand between them. Look up the worn trail. The look behind the rocks on the left and find the flat rock. Look under it and find the letterbox.

STAMP 5 - Village hidden in the Sand
Walk up the hill (North) at the grass letter box and when you get the top of the hill take a right. Walk East till you get to the stone wall. Find the loose rock on the most right of the stone wall and you will find sand.

STAMP 6 - Village hidden in the Tree
LOOK OUT FOR BEES PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STUNG
Go back to the parking lot. Find a small path by waterfall. Go down that path. At the first opening on your Right. Follow this small path to the second moss-covered tree on the right. A Bare Branch is located on it's left side. At the base of this tree's left side there are 3 rocks. Under the rocks you will find the village hidden in the tree.

The OLD Apple Stamp and Journal
This stamp was going to be placed at the old apple tree. But the park is under construction for now.
To find this final stamp, follow the path up the hill back to the packing lot. Follow the south pathway west. Locate Lewis’s vision for the future. Walk behind the sign. Read the information about Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. Turn around and walk to the two cement pillars. Pass the pillars and find the huge rock on the left. The Apple and journal are located on the east side of the rock. Once again located under river rocks and a flat rock.
Please REHIDE WELL.
