Directions: Sit on the comfy leather couch to enjoy your doughnut. Scootch over to the right and reach up the inside part of the front couch leg to find a small box magnetically attached to a metal brace.

So many neat things to find in City Creek Center! :)
Directions: South of the fountain, find Ice Spirit. You want to follow the right-hand end of Parallel Arc that points to a large L-shaped rock. Move the smaller flat rock away from the corner.
Notes: Please please PLEASE be very stealthy finding this box! There are very friendly security folks who are ever helpful. Bring a camera, a book, a journal....anything that can be used as a ready excuse. Rehide EXTREMELY well so others can have fun finding this box! IMPORTANT: the flat rock MUST be pushed back in place as far under the big rock as possible. The flat rock sits directly on the box, so don't fill in the area with smaller rocks and make it impossible to slide the flat rock back in place.

Sweet Tooth Fairy has a lovely selection of gourmet cupcakes and other delectable desserts. One of their specialties are what they call "cake bites"-- I particularly like the lemon or the mint ones. Sweet Tooth Fairy is famous for having won Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" in the spring of 2012. Stop in for something to appease your sweet tooth!
Directions: Across from the bakery is the parking garage. Head to the entrance of the garage that is by the stairs. HUSYD FT GMVGEU KDU PGEELU KFIU ZX KDU VKSGHYSVU XZH S PSCMUKGY IZO.
Notes: The first box only lasted 4 days before going missing. Since googling the name of the establishment puts this clue on the first page, I am ciphering part of the clue for safety reasons.

Of course I had to plant a box at Utah's very first gourmet cupcake bakery. Mini's has some amazing little cupcakes made from fresh, local ingredients. They also use applesauce as one of their sweeteners in the cupcakes! If you show up for lunch, they also offer some very tasty box lunches.
Directions: The white retaining wall to the south of the building has some regularly spaced holes. One of those holes doesn't look quite like the others...

Eagle Gate

Location: State Street and South Temple, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
Status: Active
The Eagle Gate monument is a historical monument seventy-six feet across, situated at the intersection of State Street at South Temple, adjacent to Temple Square.
The monument was erected in 1859 and commemorates the entrance to Brigham Young's property at the mouth of City Creek Canyon. It was originally topped by a wooden eagle, refurbished several times, and eventually replaced by the current 4,000-pound bronze eagle that has a wingspan of 20 feet.
The first Eagle Gate was remodeled and enlarged with new stone piers and wider inverted arches in the early 1890s. Due to the widening of State Street in the early 1960s, the prior monument was removed and replaced with a much wider and larger third generation Eagle Gate. The monument is one of Salt Lake City's most well known pioneer landmarks, and its current design is one of Salt Lake City's best standing examples of Mid-Century Modern design.
Directions: As you are brushing up on the history of Eagle Gate, you may want to look under the left hand side.
Notes: This is a replacement box! The first one went missing very soon after being planted. Stealth is essential! Please be sure to replace the box back in the corner (felt/magnet side on the bottom, lid on top) so it won't fall and be thrown away.

European-style bread, pastries, imported candy and other items... Vosen's has what you're looking for in an authentic German bakery. I love their breads, the apple pastries, the raspberry berliners... aw, heck. I just love anything they make! Fantastic little bakery (and I do mean little... you'll see when you go!) with a BIG taste.
Directions: Look to the west side of the porch steps.

Have you ever had a scone? I mean, an honest-to-goodness English scone? We're not talking about those deep-fried ...things... you can get. Elizabeth's Bakery has the most amazing scones you've tasted, I bet. (I personally love the cranberry-orange ones!) Not only are the scones to die for, so is pretty much about everything else they make. Don't forget to get the lemon curd for your scone!
Directions: Park and walk towards the road. There's a cute little stone bench there that has something interesting underneath on the southwest inside part of one of the legs. Please rehide completely with the little rocks and make it look as natural as possible.

Standing before the directory on Social Hall Avenue, follow the mule deer tracks back to where it appears the deer took a drink of water. Ooh! Shiny penny!
Notes: This is a stamp only "box", for obvious reasons. (I might also suggest bringing a towel or paper towels along.) Please do NOT hunt this box on a Sunday when City Creek Center is closed! The security folks would be all over you in 1.3 seconds. Please have a ready story if you get approached by security (I dropped something, lost something, checking out the different plants living in City Creek, I thought I saw a bunch of fish, etc.)
