This treasure hunt starts at dusk, Thursday October 9, 2003. Sundown will be 7:05 pm. Sharing is encouraged. We suggest that a group of riders take one item each, leaving whatever's left for the next group. If your group cleans out the last of a treasure box, mark the site with an X by crossing two stout branches, so others will know it's empty, and pack the box out.
