This box is for weary travelers who need to stop and stretch their legs. It is located at the New Mexico Visitor Information Center and Rest Area. From I-10 take Exit 20 and go to the Information Center on the south side of the interstate highway and park there.

Look for the “Pet Area” (the one on the west side of the building). From the boulder in the middle of the pet area, walk at about 256 degrees (from mag. north) for about 103 steps to a lone moderate size Soaptree Yucca cluster. The box is at the base of the Yucca under a small concrete slab. Be alert for snakes and scorpions.

Please be sure the contents are double ziplocked when you put them back in the box (i.e. the stamp is in a ziploc, the book is in a ziploc, and the two are in the larger ziploc bag). Please rehide the box well under the slab so that it can not be seen from any direction.

This is a very public and highly visible site; so, please be very discreet when retrieving and re-hiding the box.

I will not be able to check on this box very often; so, please let me know if you find it, or if it needs attention or is missing:
