Rawhide was a Western TV show starring Eric Fleming and Clint Eastwood that aired from 1959 to 1966. Every Friday night the theme song would play with the sound of cracking whips and the lyrics "Rollin Rollin Rollin, Keep them doggies rollin, rawhide!". At White Ranch Park there is a trail called Rawhide that might make you feel like one of those doggies as you look for this box. Feel free to sing the song while you hike.

Directions:
From Golden go north on CO 93 about 1 mile to Golden Gate Canyon Road (CR 70). Go left (west) 4.1 miles to Crawford Gulch Road (Hwy 57), go right for about 4 miles to Belcher Hill Road, then right about 1.5 miles to White Ranch Park. Continue past first parking lot on left to second (lower) parking area and park by trail map kiosk.

Clues:
Walk left (west) to Rawhide Trail and go north on it past Belcher Hill jct to where it goes under power lines. Continue as it winds around, going up and down, to just before it goes under power lines again by rock outcropping on left. Go left off trail to pine tree on left side of rocks, continue 5 steps past it then go right 4 steps to boulder with small pine tree growing on top. LB is at left base of boulder under flat rocks.
