Walk difficulty: fairly easy; it is a flat dirt road with some uphill.
Walking time: about 10 minutes one way
Stamp hand-carved
Status: alive and well on August 25, 2013
From the town of Creede, travel west on State Highway 149 for about 2.8 miles. Turn right on Miners Creek Road (Forest Road 507). Drive for about 1.5 miles and turn left on Forest Road 508 (first left turn). Drive over the creek and park just before the gate.
Walk through the green gate (with yellow angle structures on each side) and up the road. Make the left turn and continue up Road 508. You will be walking through a mixed Conifer and Aspen forest. The road will then top out and level off with a grassy, brushy slope on the right. You will see a tall lone Conifer Tree (Fir?) on the right. From that tall tree, look on the opposite (left) side of the road for a dead tree with an old wooden utility line board on it (with a broken green glass insulator on it) (I have been informed that it is now gone). Just to the right of the dead tree is an old log on the ground pointing down hill. The box is under the down hill end of the log on the right side covered with some rocks and a very small log.
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 are in the larger ziploc bag), and put all of it INSIDE the box. Please rehide the box well under the rocks and small log and covered with some plant debris so that it can not be seen from any direction.
If you want, continue up the road for a short distance to see a great view of the Rio Grande Valley.
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:
