4/12/2009 - Looks like this one is MIA.

Location: Boulder Creek Path, Charles A. Hearting Sculpture Garden near the Boulder Public Library at 1000 Canyon Boulevard, Boulder, CO 80302

Additional Information: The Boulder Creek Path stretches seven miles from east Boulder, near Valmont Reservoir, to the western end of town where Boulder Canyon and Four mile Canyon intersect. This trail parallels Boulder creek as it runs east through the heart of Boulder and out into the plains. The trail, dirt and gravel for its upper few miles, is paved from the base of Boulder Canyon until its end at 55th Street. The path is very popular with bicyclists, rollerbladers, joggers and walkers, and the occasional kayaker hiking his boat up to the kayak course, so don't expect much solitude. You should expect a beautiful ride along scenic Boulder creek, with many benches and parks where you can stop and rest or have a nice picnic.

Clues: Locate the Charles A. Hearting Sculpture Garden that is just to the west of the Boulder Public Library. Once in the garden you will see a huge silver metal sculpture with many spikes springing up from the ground. Directly behind this sculpture (facing the river with the street behind you) at approximately 150 degrees south there is a small dirt path with a sign that reads “All Dogs Must be on Leash.” Walk to this dirt path which is just off the paved path. To your immediate right (in front of you near the river) you will see a sign that reads “Life on the Wing.” Standing at this sign facing west or to your right take 6 steps or 3 paces to the west. Stop. Look to your right and in the bushes you will note a pile of rocks. Hidden under this pile is Spud Trooper Mini Me. This path is ultra busy with all walks of life buzzing past you at any moment. There is a nice bench facing the river that is perfect for logging in your find. Please be ultra discrete when locating the box and re-hiding it.

Should you note the box missing, its contents in bad repair or if you just want to say “hi” please contact me at Blackvelvetrav@yahoo.com. Happy hunting!
