The answers to the questions in the clues for this webbox are located in White Sands National Monument in southern New Mexico. Letterboxes are not allowed to be physically placed in national parks and national monuments administered by the U. S. National Park Service. 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.

Go to White Sands National Monument which is just off of U. S. Highway 70 about 15 miles southwest of Alamogordo. Drive to the car park for the Dune Life Nature Trail trailhead. It is the first side road on the left after passing the entrance station.

Walk on the Dune Life Nature Trail. At the beginning of the trail is an interpretive sign titled “Dune Life Nature Trail” with a colorful picture of a Kit Fox in the lower left corner. In the first paragraph (just below the title), in the second line, what is the fifth word ______?

Continue walking on the trail and look for an interpretive sign titled “Between the Dunes”. In the first paragraph (above the title), in the first line, what is the sixth 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):

Now, plug/paste/type the new URL into your web browser and you will have completed your search for the White Sands Monument Webbox.
