Reported missing Jul 4, 2009, but - hey - it has a nice long run as the original box planted in this area which later spawned many others!!!

SPECIAL NOTE 7/11/08
Unfortunately, Nancy laid her turtle stamp down on the next information stand to take a picture and forgot it there. If anyone finds it, please e-mail Nancy of "trains242 at sbcglobal dot net" who will pay postage to have it sent back to her.
Also, the baggie is torn in two places and needs to be replaced.

CLUE: From Durango take Rt 550 north (Main St), turn west on 25th street which later becomes Junction St, Junction Creek Rd and finally FR 171. Follow this paved road 3.5 mi bearing left at 3 mi to pass the end of the Colorado trail, and then go just over 7 mi of good gravel road to the Animas Overlook parking area on your right. Taken the paved , wholly accessible 2/3 mi loop trail, starting to your left, for great views of the San Juans and the Animas River valley. About 1/3 of the way through the loop, turn your back to the Basketmakers of Falls Creek sign, and go a couple of paces to the end of the railroad tie past the bench. The micro box with stamp by RTRW is tucked under the tie behind the smaller of two reddish rocks. Please take care to close the lid tightly and enjoy this beautiful area.

Alive and well as of Jul 10, 2008
