The Edwards Plateau is a region of west-central Texas which is bounded by the Balcones Fault to the south and east, the Llano Uplift and the Great Plains region to the north, and the Pecos River and Chihuahuan Desert to the west. It mostly lacks deep soil suitable for farming and the rough terrain areas are primarily grazing regions, with cattle, sheep and Angora goats predominant. Edwards County is part of this area and this box can be found in Rocksprings Cemetery.

Directions:

From I10 at Junction, take Hwy 377 southwest 47 miles to Rocksprings. Just before you get into town, look for Rocksprings Cemetery on the left. Drive to the back of the cemetery and go right for a short way. As the road starts to curve back toward the entrance, pull over and park near the far corner of the fence on the left.

Clues:

Walk to a 3-trunk oak tree next to the fence. The microbox is within the trunk under a rock and leaves. Please rehide well.

NOTE: Always take adequate precautions (such as prodding with a stick and/or wearing gloves) before reaching into dark crevasses and holes in the wild. Before you set out read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer.
