I have placed a new letterbox in the south of Arizona. Here are the
clues:
Kennedy Park Grackle Letterbox
Placed by: Azroadie
Placement date: September 29, 2004
State: Arizona
County: Pima
Nearest city: Tucson
Difficulty: Walk easy, about 15 minutes one way. Clues
easy
The letterbox is in John F. Kennedy Park in far southwest Tucson,
Arizona. From I-19 take Exit 99 and go west on Ajo Way for about
1.5 miles. Go right (north) on La Cholla Blvd. for about 0.3
miles. Turn left (west) onto the second park entrance road and park
near the restrooms.
Walk west to the end of the paved park road. Walk west on the dirt
trail that starts at the end of the paved road and goes through an
opening in the barbed wire fence. After walking through the fence
opening and going up a slope you will arrive at a wide dirt road.
Go left (south) on the dirt road for a short distance until you
arrive at a trail crossing identified by light gray painted rocks
lining the trail. Go right (west) on the trail up slope. After
winding around a little (but still going roughly west) you will go
down and up a small shallow gully. You will soon arrive at a small
pile on your left of old pebbly paving material (macadam). From the
top of the pile go exactly north up hill on a faint 4-wheel road for
a short distance to its end at a small flat dirt area. From the
center of the flat area go at about 330 degrees (from north) up
slope for about 20 paces to a small Palo Verde Tree. The box is
under a pile of rocks under the northwest side of the tree. Be
alert for snakes and scorpions! Enjoy the view of the Tucson
basin. To the east are the Rincon Mountains; to the north are the
Santa Catalina Mountains; and you are standing in the foothills of
the Tucson Mountains.
The first person to find this box will find a surprise!
