Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the NH State Geoart Series. The coordinates are fake; you must solve the puzzle below to obtain the final coordinates. The caches are placed along the 14.8 mile, dirt Bog Dam Road (also known as the Kilkenny Loop Road) in Berlin, NH. The dirt road is is in great shape, but the road is gated from the end of November to the beginning of May. Check the WMNF website for road closure.

 

Note that all the caches are winter friendly and within 20' of the road – easy P&Gs.

 

 

Mount Moosilauke is my favorite 4000' mountain. It is a 4,802-foot-high (1,464 m) mountain at the southwestern end of the White Mountains in the town of Benton. It is the tenth highest and most southwesterly of the 4,000 foot summits in the White Mountains. Moosilauke is ranked 9th on the New England Fifty Finest peaks, a list of summits with the highest topographic prominence. The Appalachian Trail passes over the mountain. Its name is thought to be derived from a contraction of the Native American words moosi ("bald"), and auke ("place").
