Introduction:
The Eagle has only two eggs, and all living things in the world are divided into two. Here is man and woman, male and female and this is true with animals, birds, trees, flowers and so on. All things have children of two kinds so that life may continue. Man has two eyes, two hands, two feet and he has a body and soul, substance and shadow.
Through his eyes, he sees pleasant and unpleasant scenes, through his nostrils he smells good and bad odors, with his ears he hears joyful news and words that make him sad. His mind is divided between good and evil. His right hand he may often use for evil, such as war or striking a person in anger. But his left hand, which is near his heart, is always full of kindness. His right foot may lead him in the wrong path, but his left foot always leads him the right way, and so it goes; he has daylight and darkness, summer and winter, peace and war, and life and death.
In order to remember this lesson of life, look to the eagle. The eagle feather is divided into two parts, part light, and part dark. This represents daylight and darkness, summer and winter, peace and war, and life and death. So that you may remember what I have told you, look well on the eagle, for his feathers, too, tell the story of life.

Getting you close:
Drive to Papago Park, from N Galvin Parkway go West on Papago Park Dr and park in the lot by a ramada.

The Box:
You can go around the multiple monoliths from either direction. It’s 2 to 3 miles around. As you walk around look for the monolith that looks like an alligator head. You may need to be on a lower trail to see it clearly. Go to where the neck of the alligator would approximately be. Look for an outcrop with two, large, adjoining cubbyholes beneath it. As you get closer it gets steeper - please be careful. Even though the small rocks are anything but round, they can roll and take your feet out from under you. Once there look between the cubby holes where the ceiling dips between the two. On the back wall is some very weird looking brown stuff (reminds me of cow manure). Watch out for the spines which invisible to me. On the front left side of the “manure”, under some rocks you’ll find Eagle Feather.

You can see downtown Phoenix from there. If you climb up a little further to the saddle you can see two directions

Please re-hide well, scatter some natural ground debris over the hiding spot.

Hope you enjoyed the hunt. Since we don’t live in the area we can’t check on this box. We would appreciate an update on the boxes condition. Thank you.
