State: California
County: Santa Clara
Nearest city: Santa Clara
Number of boxes: 1
Clues
Founded in 1777 Santa Clara Mission is the 8th California Mission to
be built. The prestigious Santa Clara University was founded here in
1861 at this mission and surrounds it. Santa Clara University was
the first college in California.
Difficultly Level: Easy, flat
Bring a compass - can be done without, but it's easier if you have
one.
Go to the front of Santa Clara Mission.
After visitng the inside come out the front door
Walk across the road to the cross in the traffic circle
Standing in front of the cross, walk 25 degrees toward the museum
building. This would be in NNE direction
Stop and read the two interpretive signs that face the mission
Turn your back on the signs and Look Left 345 degrees, NNW. See the
evergreen tree overhanging the lawn at the corner of the building?
Walk to the tree just to the right of that tree
Go around the left of the tree in a clockwise manner, the box is
wedged in the branches of the tree in the back about shoulder
height.
PLEASE be careful to wedge this box in the tree very well so that it
doesn't fall out of the tree and get discovered.
Before you set out, please read the waiver of responsibility and
disclaimer.

I saw that you have several new "Mission" boxes planted - hooray! I have a 4th grader
and they are supposed to study California History this year - maybe I can convince
the family that I'm just supporting her education by visiting some of these.
Back on the Survivor topic, it's 18 contestants (3 tribes of 6 each) not 16 - mea culpa!
