Sometimes people have a mid-life crisis and quit their jobs to change professions. Sometime people burn out and decide to lead a simpler life. Sometimes people win the lottery and get to do anything they want, ranging from keeping on doing what they've always been doing to changing things up completely. Some of us dream of doing our ideal job. This is Front Range Hiker's next profession. We letterboxers can aspire to becoming this box's theme as professional career!

To the trailhead: GPS (32.41970526 -110.73986739)
From I10, take exit 256 which is the Grant Road exit. Travel east on Grant Road for 8.4 miles. Turn left unto E. Tanque Verde and travel 3.2 miles. Turn left unto E. Catalina Highway and continue on E. Mt. Lemmon Highway for 21.5 miles. The Box Camp Trailhead is on the left hand side of Mt. Lemmon Highway.

To the box:
Follow the Box Camp Trail up hill. You will pass through a burnt out area with a lot of cut, downed trees. Continue until you encounter the trail traveling along a channel of rock with a sloping wall of rock to the right, slightly behind you. Stop here. At 270* notice two large rocks, the uphill one being elongated. Walk 17 steps to the top of the elongated rock. Turn left to find a pine tree with a lichen-covered boulder behind it. Walk 10 step to it. Turn right and walk 7 steps up to a burned snag. On your left, at your ankles, are 2 big rocks. Look on the SW side of the further one. The box is in a hidey-hole, under a single flat rock and some plant debris.

Please re-hide exactly as you found and please do not add any rocks to the pile. If you re-hide correctly, no "extras" are even needed. Please make sure everything is double bagged.

Be careful. This is Arizona where nothing is fuzzy, cute or cuddly in the wild. After all, if it doesn't poke, stick, eat, or poison you, it's not Arizona!
