Walk difficulty: Easy
Distance: 3/4 mi RT
Stamp: hand-carved
Status: Alive and well on January 2023
Logbooks have been removed from the first 2 boxes, still present in the final box.
Driving directions:
From Ina and Oracle Road (AZ 77), drive north on Oracle to the traffic light at the entrance to Catalina State Park and Oro Valley Marketplace. Turn left into the Oro Valley Marketplace and take the first left turn (heading towards In N Out Burger). Park in the dirt lot across from the four-sail ramada (December 2016 - the sail cover is missing, but the metal structure is standing).
Clues:
From the four-sail (sails are gone, 4 legged metal structure) ramada walk south down the dirt path, to the left of the paved path.
Mallow
In a short distance you will see a prone telephone pole on the left. From the north end of the pole go at 50 degrees for 6 steps to a pile of concrete debris. The box is under the largest chunk, under the south edge, behind smaller concrete chunks and rocks with small branches scattered on top.
Marigold
Continue south on the dirt path to the vertical telephone pole. From the east side of the pole go at 120 degrees for 15 steps, stepping over the prone pole to the concrete debris pile. The box is under the NE lip of the large chunk, behind smaller pieces of concrete.
Phacelia
Continue south on dirt path to paved path, crossing the Canyon Del Oro walking bridge. At the right arrow turn left, walk 40 steps to break in pavement.
Continue 15 more steps beyond the crack.
You should see a dead mesquite on the right.
Walk 24 steps down slope.
Look on the right side of the mesquite, under rocks and debris.
Jan '23 - Thanks to WH & MM for box maintenance and clue update.
Please be sure the contents are double-zip locked when you put them back in the box (ie- the stamp is in a ziplock, the book is in a ziplock, and the two are in the larger ziplock bag). Please put the lid on tight. Please reside the box well, just as you found it or better! Make sure it cannot be seen from any direction.
