This cache is placed at the end of the Cobb Hill Trail, a hike of
about 1.5 miles from the end of Jaquith Road in Hancock. The trail,
built and maintained by the Harris Center, travels sections
of old farm roads connected by a newer trail through the woods.
The trail is marked with white discs. Park at the designated parking waypoint, about 1/4 mile before the road ends at a private house and a gate. The Harris Center website has a trail map which may be useful. In parts of the hike through a thick forest canopy,
you may lose reception, so you must follow the white discs
carefully. You will begin on the old town road which ran between
Hancock and Nelson, turn left on a narrow trail for a steady climb
through the woods, and come to an old farm road. After jogging left
on it for under .1 mile, the trail turns right uphill again, soon
opening up just before its end at a lovely view of Mt. Monadnock,
cut by volunteers from the Harris Center.
Please, no nighttime caching. The house at the trailhead has
several dogs, all of whom will raise an alert when you pass by.
