Seminole Canyon State Park is a great place to see more than 200 pictograph sites containing examples of early man's rock paintings. Though Seminoles did not live there, they worked as scouts in the area after the Civil War, thus lending their name to the place. Today they are honored by a Sculpture of a Shaman that you can see while looking for this microbox and experiencing the life of the "first Texans".

Directions:

Seminole Canyon State Park is located 9 miles west of Comstock on US Highway 90, just east of the Pecos River Bridge.

Clues:

Go to Visitor Center and pay fee, then go out the back and follow the Windmill trail to the left for about 25 yards to the sculpture. Continue another 100 yards to a trail jct. Take the right fork and go down 23 steps to 5 square rocks. Turn right (south) and walk 7 steps to the middle rock of three. Look left (east) for a small bush 5 steps away. The camo microbox is within the trunk under rocks & bark. Please be discreet and re-cover 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.
