Geocache Description:

You're looking for a popular, small container used in many roadside hides. Take care not to block the intersection, and don't wander too far. There is private property abutting the GZ.

Here, you'll be off the beaten path as NH 9 diverts back to its historical footprint through the backwoods of Madbury.

From Wikipedia:

"Route 9 is a multi-state state highway in the New England region of the United States, running across the southern parts of New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine, and numbered, owned, and maintained by each of those states. Its number was assigned in 1922, when it was designated one of the New England Interstate Routes, also known as the Bennington-Wells Route. Much of the route remains intact in Vermont and New Hampshire. In Maine, however, Route 9 has since been extended eastward by about 270 miles (435 km) from its original terminus in Wells, through Biddeford, Portland, and Bangor, to the Canadian border in Calais."

In New Hampshire, Route 9 is known as the old Concord Coach stage route. Planned as a Dover-bound extension of the First New Hampshire Turnpike (mainly US 4), it was a segment of the first private corporation-owned toll road in the state.
