The answers to the questions in the clues for this webbox are located in Lake Chelan National Recreation Area in north central Washington. Letterboxes are not allowed to be physically placed in national parks and national recreation areas 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 the village of Stehekin at the north end of Lake Chelan. Most visitors arrive by commercial boat.

From the lodge and marina area, walk north on the road through Stehekin (Stehekin Valley Road). Look for a small wooden sign along the right side of the road titled “McKellar Cabin Trail. 15 Minute Self Guided Trail”. Start walking on the McKellar Cabin Trail. Look for an interpretive sign titled “Conservation”. In the 1st paragraph (starts with the words “Conservation was essential …”), in the 2nd line, what is the last word ______?

Now, continue walking on the trail and find an interpretive sign titled “Purple Creek”. In the 1st paragraph (starts with the words “Water is a …”), in the 4th (last) line, what is the last 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):
