*** Replaced 3/14/2009. This is best as a night-hunt, so fewer prying eyes will be watching! ***
A Drive-by hunt for a Hand-carved stamp.
This box is one of many placed in the San Luis Valley while we were here for Kristal’s family re-union and celebration of her grandparents’ 60th Anniversary.
HISTORY
The “World’s Only Movie Motor Inn” is located just west of Monte Vista, Colorado. While working at his drive-in theatre in the 1950s, George Kelloff dreamed up the Movie Manor – a hotel from which all of his guests could view the movie too! Each cozy room is named for a movie star and has an overhead speaker with piped in, adjustable sound for the feature screen. You can sit in big, comfy chairs or lay in bed while watching out your large picture window. If you’d prefer to watch the movie showing on the second screen, you can do so for free, but you’ll have to drive your car around to get the sound. We had a blast staying here and highly recommend it! Guests can also take advantage of the playground, pitching green, restaurant, and RV parking. Call 1 (800) 771-9468 for reservations.
TO THE BOX
The Best Western Movie Manor is on the south side of Highway 160, near mile marker 213.
Find Spencer Tracy and then head off at 225 degrees for 52 steps. This minibox is hiding between two large rocks.
