The annual Christmastime tradition of hunting for the Yule Log begins Monday in Steamboat Springs. Find the first clue in the Happenings section on page 7 in the newspaper. Clues will be listed in Happenings each weekday morning for 10 days or until the log is found. Here are some tips for your search:
■ The 3-foot-long, 50-pound log is hidden somewhere in Steamboat Springs and marked “Yule Log” in red writing.
■ Clues will lead readers from the spot of last year’s log at Casey’s Pond to this year’s hiding spot.
■ The log will be hidden within city limits and at least a portion of it will be visible from its hiding place. The log will not be on private property, inside of a building or in an area that charges a fee to enter.
■ When the log is found, alert the Tread of Pioneers Museum immediately at 970-879-2214. The log must be presented in person to claim the $150 Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association gift certificate and framed plaque.
Happy hunting!
