Following the directions in Sonny's letter, Tex travels to an old Anasazi ruin, near Tuscon, Arizona. With any luck, this is where Bosworth Clark is hiding.

Anasazi Ruins

When you first arrive at the ruins, there will be a set of stairs to the left in front of you. Climb them, and open the door at the top.
Enter the chamber beyond the door, and turn to your right. On the floor there are two small pots, and a small rectangular brick. Get the brick. Judging from the picture on the end of the brick, it looks like this thing might have some sort of cultural significance.

Exit the chamber, and go back down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, turn to the left, and go up to what appears to be a cog mechanism on the wall. "Move" the cogs to get a closer view.

Is it just me, or does this seem a little...I don't know...technically advanced for an ancient Native American race?  Oh well, back at it...

Using the three levers at the top, you must rotate the cogs until the red dots on the cogs line up with the red dots on the wall. We could literally spend hours here, trying to get the dots lined up, but lets do it the easy way.

Move the lever above the left cog upward once.
Move the lever above the middle cog upward three times.

Voila'! A huge chunk of brick slides out of the wall, exposing a secret compartment. Inside is another one of those ceremonial bricks.

Get the brick from the secret compartment. These things have just got to be useful somehow. Why else would this one have been hidden away in the wall?
Head back to where you started from when you first arrived, but go off to the right before you get there. There should be a well in the ground just off to the side from where you started. Approach the well and look down inside. There's a bucket down there, and what's inside? Another one of those ceremonial bricks. We'll have to find a way to bring that bucket up to our level.
Now, turn to your left. On the far wall is a door. Go through it. The door to your left as you approach will not open, so just keep going straight.
Once through the door, turn left and get the two long poles lying on the ground.
Around the corner, in the next alcove, is a wooden box. Grab that as well.
In the last alcove is another ceremonial brick. Pick it up.

Leave the area with the alcoves and continue on from the door you came through. To your left will be a large Private Property sign. On the ground, just to the left of the sign, is another brick you need to get.
Go back to the area with the alcoves, and go through the door.
Get the piece of pipe on the ground to the right as you enter, then continue down the passage.
Pick up the small pot in the middle of the passage. Underneath is...you may have guessed already...another brick. You know what to do.
Keep going down the passage until you find a vine on a stick. Get it.
Re-trace your route back through the passageway until you're back outside. Go past the Private Property sign to the old tree at the far end of the ruins.
In front of the tree, on the ground, is an old book. Pick it up and examine it.
So...that's what those bricks are for. First, we need to find all the bircks, and then find the "special altar" the book mentions. The book says there are eight bricks in all, and we have five. Only three more to go. Let's get cracking...
To the left of the tree is another set of stairs. Before you climb them, though, look in the small space to the right of the stairs. Brick number six. Pick it up. Now climb the steps, and enter the door at the top.
This room looks like some kind of ceremonial hot tub room. As you walk in, turn to the left and get the yucca rope hanging from the window. You may have to look up to see it.
On the other side of the room is a pile of sticks. Go around the pit in the floor and get them.

Uh-oh...did you hear that? When you went around to get the sticks, did you hear a strange noise? Sounded sort of like...a rattle. Sounds like it came from that small opening in the wall near the floor. Ohh...great. Hold still... There's a rattlesnake under there. Looks like he's wrapped around something, too. Aw...shoot...it's one of the ceremonial bricks. We need that. I sure as heck wouldn't stick my hand in there to get it, and I don't reccommend you do it either. If there was just some way to lure him out of there and get him out of the way. Wait a sec...maybe if we...

In your inventory, combine the vine on a stick with the wooden box.
Now, get out your little buddy, Raymond (the Toy Mouse). Combine him with the box and the vine on a stick.
Crude, but hopefully effective. Must be something Tex learned back in his Weeblos days.
Use the completed trap on the rattlesnake.
With the snake out of the way (Thanks, Raymond, and God speed little friend), reach in and grab the brick.

Only one brick left to get, and that's the one down at the bottom of the well. Head back there.

At the well, combine the yucca rope with the section of pipe.
Use the rope and pipe on the bucket at the bottom of the well to get the eighth and final brick.

Well, we've got all the bricks, now we just need to find that "special altar" the guidebook talked about. The only place we haven't explored yet is further down that passage where the piece of pipe and brick #4 were located. Go back to the area with the three alcoves and the Private Property sign, and re-enter the door there.
