This series is placed along the Cañada del Oro in Oro Valley. Oro is the Spanish word for gold.
Go to the <A HREF="http://www.orovalleyaz.gov/parksandrec/parks/canada-del-oro-riverfront-park">Canada del Oro Riverfront Park</A>, 551 W. Lambert Lane, Oro Valley, AZ. Park in the southern part of the lot.
<B>Gold Mining</B>
[missing - retired] From Bighorn Ramada, walk southeast. Continue through the zig zag opening in the fence. Continue slightly south southeast, crossing two dirt trails, to a large sprawling Mesquite Tree. The box is under the outer edge of the southeast side of the tree under a piece of concrete.
<B>Olympic Gold</B>
Head northeast along the dirt trail that is on the north side of the Mesquite keeping to the right of the fence. From the “Caution Natural Wash …” sign, go at about 65 degrees (from mag. north) for about 45 steps to a medium size bushy tree. The box is under the outer edge of the east side of the tree under a flat brick.
<B>Goldfish</B>
Suggested to wear long pants and long sleeves,
Continue east on the trail for 60 steps to a "Y".
At “Y”, go right on narrower trail, up and over and down a berm, and into a small wash.
At the wash turn left and walk up the wash for about 12 steps.
Turn right and walk up over the berm for about 12 steps, you'll be on the right edge of the berm, hugging a Palo Verde tree.
Turn left and walk forward about 60 steps. You'll see a rusty pipe lying off to the right a few steps before reaching 60 steps.
Start looking for two rusty pipes, under some brush on the right side which form an "X".
The box is under the “X” under a rock.
<B>For all the boxes, please please be sure the contents are double ziplocked when you put them back in the box (i.e. the stamp is in a ziploc, the book is in a ziploc, and the two are in the larger ziploc bag), and put all of it INSIDE the box. Please place the lid on tight. Please rehide the boxes well under the rocks and covered with some twigs and plant debris so that they can not be seen from any direction.</B>
These letterboxes were placed for the 10th Annual Tucson Letterboxers Gathering.
Please let me know if the box needs attention or is missing:
