On October 27, 2001 Funhog placed El Pino Solo
Letterbox in Santa Fe, Santa Fe County, New Mexico. When you need to work off
that Chile Con Queso head out on the trail!
To the trailhead: From Paseo de Peralta head away
from downtown Santa Fe on Washington Avenue. Go right on Artsist Rd. toward the
State Park. This will become Hyde Park Rd. At the intersection of Hyde Park and
Cerros Colorados turn left. The Dale Ball Trails parking lot is on your
immediate right. From here it will take about 20 minuts to reach this
letterbox.
To the letterbox: Head uphill at the signpost for
junction #1. When you reach the signpost for junction #2 go right. Once you are
on a downhill stretch start watching the hilltops on your right for the bow of
an earthen ship. Just beyond this point you will see a lone pine (El Pino Solo)
towering over the surrounding juniper and pinyon on the downhil side of the
trail. With this tree on yur immediate left you will find the letterbox just to
the right hidden behind and orange rock.
