Alamo Village is located 7 miles north of historic Brackettille Texas on FM 674 off Hwy 90.
Alamo Village is one of the largest and most complete backlots in the world. It was built for the John Wayne movie, “The Alamo”. However, more than 200 major films, TV movies, mini-series, documentaries, commercials, and music videos have been filmed there. Alamo Village is open to the public. You can stroll through the Alamo compound, or go through over 18 walk-in buildings, including the John Wayne Museum.

This box is not actually in Alamo Village. It’s not even in Bracketville because I couldn’t find a place that wouldn’t look suspicious to a local cop or border patrol. So I decided to plant the box in a picnic area just about 5 miles outside of Brackettville.

Directions:
From Brackettville, TX – Head E on Hwy 90. From the Alibi Lounge Bar & Grill (on your right), go 5.1 miles and pull Left into a picnic area.
From Uvalde, TX – Starting on the west side of Uvalde, go West on Hwy 90 for a little over 32 miles. On your right is a picnic area.

Clues:
1) Stand and face the brown sign that states “Heart of Texas Wildlife Trail West Site HOTW-017”.
2) Notice a fence at the far back of the picnic area. Go straight ahead to that fence.
3) Turn Left and walk along the fence, past a picnic table (which is so close to the fence, they had to cut a small corner piece off one of the benches!)
4) Keep going until you hit the NW corner of the fence (3 fences meet here).
5) Face the fence post at this 3-way junction. Look to your Right and observe a good-sized tree.
6) At the base of this tree should be an old wooden post and an old wooden plank. The box is hidden under the plank.
7) Please double-bag the log-book and stamp. The box isn’t really water-proof.
8) Please re-hide well. Cover it with leaves to make it look as though no one has disturbed the area in a long time!
9) Since I am unable to check on this box, please contact me with an update on how my letterbox is doing! Blazehime7@aol.com
