The answers to the questions in the clues for this webbox are located in Pecos National Historical Park in north central New Mexico. Letterboxes are not allowed to be physically placed in national parks and monuments and other sites 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.

Go to Pecos National Historical Park. Park in the lot near the visitor center.

It will help to have a guide to the Ruins Trail which you may obtain from the VC. Walk out the back of the VC to Stop #1 on the Ruins Trail. The colorful interpretive sign there is titled “Mighty Pueblo”. In the paragraph on the left under the title (starts with the words “Set at a …”), in the 2nd line, what is the last word _____?

Now, continue walking on the trail and find an interpretive sign between Stops 6 & 7 titled “Trash is Treasure”. In the paragraph on the left under the title (starts with the words “Pecos Pueblo is …”), in the 4th line, what is the last word _____?

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 Pecos Historical Park Webbox.
