For those living in west TX, surfing in the ocean is not possible without many miles of travel, however another option exists. Monahans Sandhills State Park consists of 3840 acres of sand dunes, some up to 70 feet high, thus providing a great place to try sand surfing. Sand disks can be rented at the park, so come give it a try while looking for this microbox.

Directions:

From Monahans, go east on I20 and take exit #86 to Park Road 41. Go north on this road to the visitor center and park.

Clues:

Find the nature trail behind the visitor center and walk past the sign about water to a jct. Turn right and go about 40 yards curving left to a sign about the "sands of time". The camo microbox is behind the left iron support post under some stones and sand. Please re-cover well and be discreet.

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.
