This is the original "You Gave Your Wife a What?" box, original clues can be read [http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gBoxId=29257 here]

The storage unit this box was hidden at got a key coded gate and security camera's more than a year ago, so I decided to pull the box. It has now found a new home, well, it's been there for a few months now and I just found the clues again :-)

We found out about boxing Thanksgiving weekend 2006, I carved this stamp for Becki's birthday on December 12th and gave her clues to follow around the house to find the stamp. The stamp image **is not** what I gave her, rather, it was a clue as to her real gift . . . can you guess what her 'real' gift was?

Since the stamp itself was a clue to her gift I was redeemed!! So, I hid it in a spot I know Becki would enjoy . . . as much as her actual gift :-)

When we first courted I went to a family reunion of Becki's up at Eagle Point Park in Dubuque. She informed me at that time that the Hwy 20 bridge always fascinated her as a young girl . . . we still refer to it as "Becki's Bridge"!! From this park you have a wonderful view of Becki's Bridge and of the Mississippi below.

When you enter the park you can go left or right . . . if you're a guy you're a guy your natural instinct will guide you to the proper parking lot --- geez guys, back off . . . they're just hills.

Walk through the shelter to the view and down the path into the woods . . .

red bench
up 2
down 7
bridge
13th step . . . step off the trail and reach under the 15th step.

Please becareful to rehide well, as the box can be seen from above too.

You can continue on this trail that will lead you back to a familiar place.
