We've long been intrigued by the Milford and Manchester Railroad that was only in use for a few short years. There is already at least one other cache on the old railbed ( GC17K8M ) in Amherst, but I thought it would be nice to have another one.
This cache is placed near the old railroad bed near Baboosic Brook in Merrimack. You can follow the old railroad bed to the cache.
There is a residence fairly near to the cache but on the other side of the brook, so some stealth may be required (especially with there are no leaves on the trees) and night time caching with flashlights is probably not a good idea. There is also the old railroad bridge embankment close by so if caching with very young kids one should keep a close eye on them so they don't get too close to the old bridge site by themselves.

A bit more information on the railroad (owned by the Boston and
Maine Railroad) can be found here:
