The answers to the questions in the clues for this webbox are located in Gila Cliff Dwellings 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.

Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument is located at the northern end of State Highway 15 north of Silver City. Enter Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, go to the Cliff Dwellings Trailhead and Contact Station, and park there.

At the start of the Cliff Dwellings Trail is a large metal information sign (with a map of the trail on it) titled “Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument”. In the second paragraph on the left (starts with the words “The self-guided 1 mile”), in the second line, what is the eighth (last) word. ______?

Start walking on the Cliff Dwellings Trail. Look for a small brown sign affixed to a larger white piece of wood with a rock layer design. The brown sign has white and red engraved letters and starts with the words “To protect park”. In the second line, what is the first 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 (all letters lower case) into this URL (replacing the question marks “???” with the mystery word):
