Geocache Description:

This cache is located on public (State) land in Crawford Notch, one of New Hampshire’s most scenic locations. Nearest parking is at the Dry River Campground on Route 302. The cache is in a three-gallon white plastic bucket and is plainly visible at short range. Numerous channels of the Dry River are found in this area. Crossing mountain streams can be difficult or dangerous when the water is high (Spring runoff or after a heavy rain).

Use care and discretion in picking your route


Crawford Notch is a spectacular example of New England mountain scenery. This glacier-carved valley features thousand-foot high cliffs, abundant hiking, climbing, autumn foliage, and opportunities for outdoor adventure. The sheer Frankenstein Cliffs are immediately opposite the cache’s location, as is the high trestle of the old Maine Central Mountain Division which is now used for tourist excursions by the Conway Scenic Railway.

The cache was placed in mid winter when the campground is closed and skis or snowshoes are recommended for back country travel. The cache contains a notebook and numerous prizes including a moose-calling audio cassette, several assortments of rare foreign money, a fine Grolsch cap, music cassettes, and a good assortment of keychains and trinkets.

Please log you visits in the logbook and at the geocaching.com site and let us know your stories and comments. Take a moment or two to enjoy the scenery. Happy hunting!
