*** I just adopted this letterbox. I will get up there to replace it just as soon as I possibly can. Thanks so much for understanding.

Yours in 'boxing,

Difficulty:Super easy. You could leave the car running with the air on. It's THAT easy.

Take US 60 east from Phoenix. Go thru the ole mining town where Sean Penn made one of his more mediocre films, "U-Turn". Now you're in the Hell's Gate wilderness. You will come to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, and if you're not in a big rush to find this box, I would recommend a visit. I would have put the box in there but it was closed on Christamas day. Past the Arboretum you'll approach a roadside Virgin y Guadalupe shrine that welcomes you to Miami and all it's wonderful antique shops. Park here. West of the shrine are 4 boulders with holes drilled. Find the one that served as 1995's State Championships between S. Haven, Chavez and Macdonald. On the opposite side is a crack that will eventually split this boulder in half. From there, walk 12 paces to the west and face south. There are several piles of rubble and rock, the letterbox is in the one you should be facing at this point. Be careful of desert critters!
