Harvard Rock Traditional Geocache

This cache is one of several placed along the Georgiana Falls Path, which leads 0.8 mile to Lower Georgiana Falls and 1.2 miles to Harvard Falls (also known as Upper Georgiana Falls). There are additional caches placed by barefootgal near the trailhead and beside both waterfalls. From the parking area the trail follows a gravel road (a snowmobile trail in winter) west through an underpass of the northbound lanes of I-93, and in a short distance turns right onto a woods road at a sign for Georgiana Falls. After passing under the southbound lanes of the interstate,  the trail leads up through beautiful woods in the Second Presidential State Forest. After 0.5 mile it comes beside scenic Harvard Brook.  Note that in winter the first short section of the trail coincides with a busy snowmobile trail; be prepared to yield to oncoming snowmobiles. Snowshoes will be required to access the caches when there is good snow cover. This cache is located behind a huge rock that rises on the right side of the trail. I have given it the informal name of Harvard Rock since it is near Harvard Brook; not to be confused with the Harvard Rock that overlooks Tuckerman Ravine on Mt. Washington. You are looking for a hanging camoed bison behind the rock. The easiest access was to go along the trail past the rock and circle around it on the west side, swinging to the right behind it, but this is now blocked by a blowdown (5/2/22). It may be better now to go in before the rock.
