I have placed a new box in northern Arizona. Here are the clues:
Fort Tuthill Letterbox
Placed by: Azroadie
Placement date: March 17, 2004
State: Arizona
County: Coconino
Nearest city: Flagstaff
Difficulty: Walk & clues easy
Walk time: about 20 minutes one way
The box is in Fort Tuthill County Park on the southern edge of
Flagstaff. From I-17 take Exit 337 and drive west a very short
distance to Beulah Blvd. Go north on Beulah a very short distance
and turn west into Fort Tuthill County Park on the entrance road
that has the brown "fairgrounds" sign. Drive straight to end of
paved road and park in trailhead lot.
Walk north on the Urban Trail (starts next to the trailhead lot)
which is a wide raised cinder & gravel trail that is an abandoned
railroad grade. It was a logging railroad constructed starting in
1902 by the Arizona Lumber and Timber Company and closed down in
1966. You will walk past stables on your right. After crossing a
dirt road with wood railings, you will see a trail sign and map on
your left for the Soldiers Trail. Go west on Soldiers Trail which
starts behind the sign. Follow the green narrow trail markers with
arrows on them. After the 4th green trail marker, the trail starts
uphill. It then approaches a barbwire fence. There is an old short
2-feet-high tree stump next to the fence. Seven paces west is a
large live pine tree. From the red & white fence post next to this
tree go off trail west along the fence line counting the fence posts
as you go. The box is at the 10th fence post about 3 feet south
under some rocks. Be alert for snakes.
Contact me if the box needs attention:
