The parking lot is on New Boston Road in Bedford at the coordinates posted above about 100 yards east of the New Boston town line. Your first waypoint is at
N 42 deg 57.042 min W 71 deg 36.653 min
After your find you may want to get back to the trail and continue downstream to "The Pulpit" one of New Hampshire's largest glacial basins. The well marked trail continues over bridges downstream through a beautiful gorge. If you have young children with you be aware that approaching the basin from above will bring you to 40 foot cliffs. It is best to stay on the trails in the vicinity of the gorge.
Enjoy your hunt,
Grampa Cardigan

Above is the original cache description; below is newer supplemental information:
Thanks are due to "Grampa Cardigan" as the original hider of this classic cache.
The solid-rock-seekers adopted the cache in 2022 to maintain it for future generations of cachers to enjoy. This cache is of particular historical significance, as it is the oldest active cache in the town of Bedford, NH, and is the second-oldest active multi cache in the state of New Hampshire. Befitting its "classic" status, the container was upgraded to an ammo can on 4 July 2022.
