And Print the crossword we made especially for this series. We decided to add a little spice to our already favorite hobby by making things a little different. This series is made up of 7 micro boxes (small containers) and one box at the end with the log book and stamp. You absolutely must find the first seven micro boxes in order to obtain the clue for the final box. If you think there is a micro box missing (they are very small so make sure you look extra carefully) then please email us right away so that we can replace it because every box is a piece to this puzzle.
The micro boxes contain the clues to the crossword puzzle that you are bringing with you. IF you do not have access to a printer the Conway Public Library has computers and printers available to the public and for this reason we started the series at the library.
Make sure you fill in the answers to the crossword clues right away because they will tell you where the final box is.
After you have located all of the boxes, and filled in the answers, you then need to fill in the empty clue at the bottom of the crossword with the letters located in the shaded grey boxes. The clue goes in order- you do not need to unscramble like a jumble. Just make sure that you are entering the letters in numerical order or else it could get mixed up.
Good luck and Happy Hunting!!
Micro Box #1-
Start at the Conway Public Library. Parking is located at the back of the building. We had a difficult time finding a good hiding spot because the grounds are so well maintained that we were afraid it would be stolen because there were very few inconspicuous hiding spots. Make your way to the front of the library from the right side. As you turn the corner of the building, you will see three large granite slabs. One large one with two smaller ones on top. Located behind some moss in the crack between one of the smaller slabs and the large on you will find what you seek.
Micro Box #2-
Head to the Covered Bridge located at the beginning of West Side Road that does not allow cars to cross. Walk across this bridge and immediately to your right, before an old iron gate, you will see a stone wall with a portion on the top of it that is falling apart. Box #2 is located in this part of the wall. Make sure you re-hide it well because kids love to play with the crumbling stones.
Micro Box #3-
Head back to where you parked. Almost directly across the street from this bridge is the entrance to the Conway Village Cemetery. Head into the cemetery and either drive or walk all the way to the back. Turn left and look for the Jordrie family plot. Stand in front of this plot (facing the back of the cemetery still) and turn to your 11 o'clock. Cross the small clearing and look over the edge of a banking that leads to a stream. There you will see possibly the biggest stump I have ever seen in this neck of the woods. Take a second to look at the roots. We stumbled upon this by accident and very glad we did so we could show other people. The banking was too steep to risk hiding the third box down there so turn around and walk ten steps towards the front of the cemetery. Locate on your right a clump of six-ish small trees. Your third box is located inbetween them. Hide well.
Micro Box #4-
Make your way back to the entrance of the cemetery. There is a house on your right with a back yard that has a weird looking close dryer contraption in it. We obtained permission from the people who live here to hide box number 4 on the edge of their property. Look for the Y shaped tree with a yellow tinge to it. At the base of this tree is box number 4.
Micro Box #5-
Go to the upper parking lot of the White Mountain Hotel located in Hales Location off of West Side Road. Park facing the stone wall. Look for the two blue blazes on the trees up on the embankment in front of you. Somewhere on the stone wall within close proximity of these blazes there is a rock that clearly sticks out from the rest. It looks almost like it doesn't belong. Under this misfit rock you will find what you seek.
Micro Box #6-
Head up the road after Banana Village. The road will start to bear to the left. Once you bear left there is a house on your right with a big green shrub wall dividing it from the next property. Near this shrub wall you will see a telephone poll trying to pretend like he is a birch tree. Between this poll and its birch buddy your second to last micro box awaits!
Micro Box #7
Head to what us locals call the "Quarry".
Located heading south on 16 out of Conway... a few miles past Colemans on the left.
turn in at the Tanglewood sign and make your way up to the top of the "cathedral ledge" of conway.
Once you are on the top of the ledge you will see many Madison hills in the far distance.
on your left in the pine trees look for the bottom part of the skeleton of a dead pine. its about thigh high. within this stump you will find the final micro box.
You now have all the clues you need to find the log book and stamp.
Hope you enjoyed this and we appreciate all feedback as to how this series went for all ya'll.
**UPDATE**
The hurricane destroyed the spot where the log book was supposed to be hidden so text 6037304418 with the completed answer in the crossword puzzle and I will email you the clue to the new location of the log book. Darn mother nature!!
