<IMG ALIGN=right SRC="http://nostalgia.esmartkid.com/passport2202.jpg" width=135 height=127>The answers to the questions in the clues for this webbox are located in Carlsbad Caverns National Park in southeastern New Mexico. Letterboxes are not allowed to be physically placed in national parks. 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.

Enter Carlsbad Caverns National Park and park at the Visitor Center.

Start walking on the “Natural Entrance Trail” which starts at the east end of the Visitor Center. Just outside the Visitor Center is an interpretive sign titled “Remembering the CCC”. In the first paragraph (on the left), in the first line, what is the fifth word?

Now, continue on the “Natural Entrance Trail” and then go right on the “Nature Trail”. Near the far end of the Nature Trail look for a small interpretive sign titled “Torrey Yucca”. In the fifth line of the paragraph, what is the fourth 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 the new URL into your web browser and you will have completed your search for the Carlsbad Caverns Park Webbox.
