The answers to the questions in the clues for this webbox are located in Great Basin National Park in eastern Nevada. Letterboxes are not allowed to be physically placed in national parks. So, I have created this webbox. You must actually visit the area of the clues; however, you need to go to the Web to obtain your finders stamp and sign the log book.

Enter Great Basin National Park and drive up the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive all the way to the end. Park in the trailhead/day use parking lot at the entrance to the Wheeler Peak Campground.

Walk over to the trailhead for the trails. At the trailhead there is a large colorful interpretive sign titled “Bristlecone-Alpine Lakes Trailhead”. In the top left paragraph titled “The Expected”, in the 3rd text line, what is the 2nd word ____?

Hike counterclockwise on the Alpine Lakes Loop Trail. After passing Teresa Lake and going down a short distance, you will see two metal trail signs on the same post. On the bottom sign, in the first line, what is the 3rd word _____?

To create the mystery word, put the word from the second question on the end of the word from the first question (without spaces). Paste the mystery word into this URL (replacing the question marks “???” with the mystery word):
