Geocache Description:

We chose this location because White Mt Hiker is an avid fan of the Cog Railway.


This cache will bring you to the final resting place of Colonel Arthur Teague, who was a colonel with the 22d inf. 4th inf div during world war II. He was also president and general manager of the worlds 1st cog railway on Mt Washington in New Hampshire for 34 years from 1933 to 1967 when he died at the age of 57.

More info about the Cog Railway and Colonel Teague's involvement can be found by following the link.

Please be respectful of the area while you look for the cache, which is placed with permission of the caretaker.

The cache is within sight of Colonel Teagues grave site but is not near any of the grave stones.

Per the caretaker the cemetary is closed from first snow to spring thaw but cachers may still enter the cemetary to look for the cache and are allowed to drive to the site as long as the road remains passible.

There are many interesting stones in this location and the caretaker is always willing to talk to those who stop by...you might want to ask him to show you the hollow stones used during prohibition by the bootleggers to stash their whiskey.

While we consider this cache seasonal it should remain assessible if the snow is less than 2 feet in the winter months.
