Mission Roswell Letter Box

Hi I'm new here so not sure if this is where I should post directions to finding my boxes.
I planted one in 2006 in Roswell, NM. I hope someone nearby can find it! I was never ever contacted. I believe a long time ago I did post on a letterboxing site but can't seem to find it! Would be thrilled if someone did. Happy Hunting and be safe please.

The directions:
Follow the signs to the Roswell Gallery of Contemporary Art.
Turn left on N. Grand.
Take the first right into the Wool Bowl (football stadium) parking lot.
Park on the far right closest to the field/farthest from the road.
There is a dirt pathway that leads towards the train tracks off of the parking lot.
Follow the pathway to the third largest tree on your right.
There is a sewer pipe sticking out of the ground just before the third tree.
If you go around the pipe, it's easier to get to the trunk of the tree as there are many low lying branches.
Approach the trunk and look up. The letterbox has a pink lid and is located on top of the trunk inside of a ziplock bag.
There is a special first finder prize!

Hi wolfdreamer,

For people to look for your box, you will need to post an official clue. You do that by scrolling on the word LETTERBOX at the top of this website on the menu bar. Once you do that, you will see several choices, one of which is ADD LETTERBOX. Click on that and then just follow the instructions for adding your clue.

Posting it here will not get it into the database when people search for letterboxes in New Mexico. But if you post it as I noted above, you should be all set.

Good luck. I hope it works out and you get many finders.

And here's your sign! "Mission Roswell", LbNA # 67202. (From a LbNA search: http://www.letterboxing.org/BoxView.php?boxnum=67202 ).

Now, go find that 'box!

Regards,
Connfederate
Who would go out for it, if I lived closer to GZ. YMMV, and invariably will...

I did go look for it in the last year, but it is not there. I live an hour away. If you want to replant it, I can do that for you.
