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.

 

My third favorite peak is Mount Lincoln, a close neighbor of Mt. Lafayette.  Mt. Lincoln is a 5,089-foot-high mountain on the Franconia Range. Lincoln is located between Little Haystack and Mt. Lafayette (once called Great Haystack). Lincoln was named after President Lincoln. The west side of Lincoln drains into the main stem of the Pemigewasset River. The east side drains into Lincoln Brook, thence into the Franconia Branch of the Pemigewasset.  The Appalachian Trail, a 2,170-mile (3,500-km)  traverses Franconia Ridge, including Lincoln.

 

The puzzle: 44 28.A76  71 18.261

Mt. Lincoln is 5,A89 feet high.
