This cache is located in a vintage truck collection next to the Contoocook River in Hillsboro NH.
Mr. Kemp started his truck collection in 1954. “There’s over a hundred out there”, Kemp once said. His family has owned the garage, which is now surrounded by his truck collection, since the late 1800s. The American Truck Historical Society has labeled him the “Grandfather of Truck Collecting’, giving him a plaque for his continued collecting. Without your feet ever leaving the ground, look for a large plastic container with log book and note cards for comments. There is a card drop box next to a GULF sign on the door of the garage located across the street. There is also has a guest book on a small building surrounded by his collection. There is no entrance fee to view this truck collection. Please replace plastic container exactly where you found it!!
