This round microbox is on the far east side of Tucson. Drive east on E. Speedway Blvd. to the 9600 block. It is one block east of the Harrison-Speedway intersection. Park on the south side of Speedway at the Wrightstown Wash sign.
Walk south on the dirt path that runs along the east side of the wash. You will pass a cul-de-sac on the left. You will soon arrive at a paved street. Cross the street and continue on the trail counting the very large rocks (small boulders?) on the right as you go. Go to the 8th large rock. This rock has a large bush behind it and partially hanging over it. The box is behind and under the northwest corner of the rock with a small rock covering it. As always in the desert, be alert for snakes and other annoying critters. There is a convenient bench about 36 more steps along the trail that you can use to log in.
Please be sure the ziplock for the log book is tightly sealed when you put it back in the box and that the lid for the box is tightly screwed on (push down on lid and turn). Please rehide the box well under the large rock and behind small the rock so that it can not be seen from any direction.
Please let me know if the box needs attention or is missing: http://members.cox.net/azroadie66/index.html
