Placed by A-Bear

Trail: Easy and flat about .5 miles.


Directions

Clue
Clues: Some people thought George McLean was crazy back in 1829 when he described to others what he had seen on the high plains of Wyoming. As a result, he left these clues to prove to others that this Jackalope does still exist although almost extinct. Since the Jackalope is known for mimicing humand sounds Mr. McLean recommends you start your search in the Band Stand. Write down the date of dedication July ____,19____. Continue west across the bridge. Head north on the dirt path to "Ft Bridger in 1889." Proceed south on the road to the New Courthouse. Continue on the trail that passes the Sentry Box. At the bone cross head north to the Bridger's Old Fort. Cross the first bridge and stop at the first gate into Bridger's Stockade (closest to the wagon). Head (the year the band stand was dedicated minus 1908) degrees for (day of the month the band stand was dedicated times 10) paces. Under the south western end stands George McLean's Jackalope.
