The answers to the questions in the clues for this webbox are located in Chiricahua National Monument in southeastern Arizona. Letterboxes are not allowed to be physically placed in national parks and national monuments administered by the U. S. National Park Service. So, I have created this webbox. You must actually visit the area of the clues; however, you need to go to the Web to obtain your finders stamp and sign the log book.

From I-10 in Willcox, drive south on State Highway 186 and enter Chiricahua National Monument. Park in the lot for the visitor center.

At the eastern end of the parking lot is the start of the Rhyolite Canyon Trail. At the start of the trail is a large information sign titled “Rhyolite Canyon Trails”. In the small lone paragraph just below the map (starts with the words “From this point you can take”), in the last (fourth) line, what is the first word ______?

Now, turn around and walk west across the parking lot, across the park road (Bonita Canyon Road), to the trailhead for the Silver Spur Faraway Trail. Walk west/northwest on the trail for not very far a distance (less than 1/10 mile) and look for an interpretive sign titled "Birds of the Riparian Woodland". In the 3rd paragraph on the left under the title (starts with the words "Canyons and creeks ..."), in the 4th line, what is the 6th word ______?

To create the mystery word, put the word from the second question on the end of the word from the first question (without spaces). Paste the mystery word into this URL (replacing the question marks “???” with the mystery word):

Now, plug/paste/type the new URL into your web browser and you will have completed your search for the Chiricahua Monument Webbox.
