Clues: easy
Terrain: a down hill section then flat, less than a mile round trip
Take water and aim for a cool day. No strollers but dogs on leashes OK.
Restrooms at the trail head.

Directions:
From Mesquite, Nevada drive north on I-15 18 miles to exit 18 and the Virgin River Recreation area at Cedar Pocket. There is a campground to the left but you want the Day Use area. The fee is $2.00. Drive down to the Day Use area parking on your right near the trail head closest to marker #92.

Your hunt: Standing at the trail marker look in the distance at 260 degrees and you will see the general area where the box is hidden.

Take the trail down, then turn to your right. When the trail nears the Virgin River turn right again. Cross over a dry gully and head right along the lower edge of the cliff face. You will see what appears to be a large smokey gray horizontal monolith along the cliff face. At the north west end go up approximately 10 paces to a crevice near the bottom of this monolith to an area where the red and white sections meet. Look behind some movable rocks and you will find the ever alert Shorty guarding all the Virgins of the area. Actually Shorty needn't be so vigilant as all the Virgins ran off with Elvis.

When researching our clues please be aware that when previous searchers list “ATTEMPTED” on the clue sheets it may reflect more on their abilities as finders than indicate whether the box is viable or not. We do monitor our clues and boxes pretty well and appreciate the notes written to us by those that find or attempt our letterboxes.

Please contact placer directly or through the LBNA chat list regarding status rather than unofficial data bases. Up to date status can only be ascertained from placer as other information services will not have current data. Listing information about this letterbox on unauthorized information services is not appreciated by the placer.
