NOTE: Signs appear to have changed. If you attempt this box and the sign does not match the clues, send an email to request the mystery word. Your attempt is appreciated and as many of these boxes are in distant locations maintaining accurate clues is not possible.

<IMG ALIGN=right SRC="http://nostalgia.esmartkid.com/passport3616.jpg" WIDTH=131 HEIGHT=125> The answers to the questions in the clues for this webbox are located in Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument in northern 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.

Enter Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument which is off of U. S. Highway 89 north of Flagstaff. After passing the entrance fee booth and visitor center continue on the road to the Lava Flow Trail trailhead and park there.

Along the edge of the parking area is a large colorful interpretive sign with the title “Volcanic Terrain”. In the 2nd paragraph (starts with the words “You have several”), in the 5th line, what is the 6th word. ______?

Walk on the paved Lava Flow Trail walkway to the overlook and look for the interpretive sign titled “Frozen in Time”. In the 1st paragraph (starts with the words “As lava”), in the 3rd line, what is the 4th word ______?

Continue back to the car on the paved walkway or for a more interesting route take the cinder trail for the 1 mile long loop trail.

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 (all letters lower case) 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 Sunset Crater Volcano Monument Webbox II.
