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.

Smallest Towns of NH.

Roxbury is the 4th smallest town in NH and is located in the center of Cheshire County.  Roxbury was incorporated in 1812 as settlers had established agriculture among the rolling hillsides in the area, and a community center had developed at what is now called Roxbury Center. It was a "hill farm" community with some scattered small mills. The granite quarries among the most extensive in the Granite State at the time, provided some of the stone for the capitol building in Albany NY. Much of Roxbury was abandoned in the Civil War as a very high percentage of its male population was killed in battle. Other residents left after the Civil War to seek a better life in local mill villages or in the American Midwest. The population in 2010 was 229 for a density of 19 sq. mi.
